Daytime drowsiness is best avoided by taking the lowest dose possible that will still help you sleep at night. Your doctor will work with you to find the dose of Ambien that is best for you. To manage these side effects while you are taking this medicine:

-When you first start taking Ambien or any other sleep medicine until you know whether the medicine will still have some carryover effect in you the next day, use extreme care while doing anything that requires complete alertness, such as driving a car, operating
machinery, or piloting an aircraft.

-NEVER drink alcohol while you are being treated with Ambien or
any sleep medicine. Alcohol can increase the side effects of Ambien
or any other sleep medicine.
