Is combining valium and ambien safe within 2 hours?

Is it safe to take a valium 2 hours after taking an ambien that didn't so the trick? I would like to sleep, and when my first sleep aid fails, I wonder if I can try valium as a backup in a pinch when the wee hours are upon me. Is the combination safe, if they are not taken at the exact same time (with at leaset 1 of 2 hrs between doses)

Thanks in advance for your help.

Wow, that isprobably not a veyr good idea! The problem is that the Ambien may not really work for you, but it is still a depressant. If it ends up having an effect on your system, it could make you pretty sick. Do you think that you could talk to your doctor about getting off it instead? That would be the better course of action. What do you think?
