Why Should Zolpidem Not Be Taken After Septoplasty Surgery?
I just had surgery today. Is it ok to take zolpidem (ambien) the night after a septoplasty? they told me not to take any sleeping meds post- op but didn t say why. I take zolpidem as needed (like 1/2 the time for me) depending on how I feel that night. Now with the pain and discomfort I really can t sleep.

Hello,
It will be better to avoid sleeping pill on the day of surgery. You had already inhaled and injected many sedative during anaesthesia and survey and zolpidem will not be a good option at present.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
