Can a person take zolpidem and acetaminophen/cod together? What side effects can happen?

You could have some respiratory depression, taking two drugs that effect the CNS however its just something to watch for. If you're going to be on the codeine for a while, I would suggest you get on regular codeine, to avoid liver damage from long term use of tylenol.
