Hello,
Thank You for trusting HealthcareMagic
Ambien and Xanax, when taken together can cause increased drowsiness, dizziness, impaired memory especially in elderly. There is no contraindication for taking these medications together. However, caution should be taken in taking only the prescribed dose of medication and monitor side effects closely.
Any activity requiring high level of alertness like handling machinery, driving etc should be avoided.
Hope I was able to help you
Please address further concerns
Regards,
Dr.Lekshmi
