Question i have a old script of ambien, it is 5 yrs old. i took one and now i am very nauseated. could it be that?
Answer That is possible. Drugs that are that old could have degraded to be different and altered chemicals. It could be the Ambien that is making you nauseated or this time of year it could be a viral illness. I would recommend destroying any remaing Ambien you have left. If the nausea continues past 24 hours and is severe contact your doctor.
