IS it ok to take Klonopin(small dose, like half tab ) with an Ambien at night?

sure as long as you are used to the klonopin and you are ready to stay asleep for along time.... im sure your doctors wouldnt tell you to do it but if you are panicky before you go to bed and the klonopin helps then yea i would take it

I really dont think it would hurt if done occasionally or ask doc if Klonies can be upped at night
Let us know k

many take both but IMO its best to take only when needed, not every night

I would be cautious. Klonopin has a long enough half-life where you can change the timing of the dose so you're not mixing it with Ambien at the same time.

Talk to your doctor to make sure.
