yes and no: I've taken zolpidem 10 mg with Valerian root extract 320 mg [1 tablet] with minor restless legs as a side effect. I tried 1/2 tablet of Valerian with Zolpidem 10 and 20 mg, with no side effects. Overall, I'd say taking both together in lower doses in ok. I would not add a third sleeping medication like Diphenhydramine to the above mix... there is too much ambiguity as to side effects from taking all 3 drugs together.

Valerian Root works best if you take it at least an hour before bed.
As far as taking Unisom... I really wouldn't take that with Ambien. It could be dangerous for your respiratory system.
Good luck!

Yes you can take them together, be aware taking them at the same time may increase side effects such as dizziness and drowsiness.

I was wanting to know if the people who answer questions about is it safe to take this drug or so on. Are they just random people or are they medically trained?

I should have put this in my first comment.. apologies.
Taking these together may increase side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, confusion, and difficulty concentrating. Some people, especially the elderly, may also experience impairment in thinking, judgment, and motor coordination. You should avoid or limit the use of alcohol while being treated with these medications. Also avoid activities requiring mental alertness such as driving or operating hazardous machinery until you know how the medications affect you. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns.
