Hi alicia,

Ambien has what is called a short half-life, which means it doesn't stay in the system for very long. You didn't mention what strength pills you were taking or whether they are extended release or not, so it is hard to give you an exact answer, but 48 hours after the last dose would be safe to say it would be out of your system. On average, Ambien will remain in your body not much past the 24 to 36 hour mark and certainly no longer than 48 hours.

I hope this helps!
