You mean legally responsible, I assume. Possibly. I remember hearing about a woman crashing her car after taking Ambien, and then sued the pharmacy saying no one warned her not to drive after taking Ambien (I don't remember hearing the outcome.) People can sue for anything, if the prescription was legitimate and there was no reason not to fill it (ie was the patient getting multiple prescriptions for similar drugs and having them all filled at the same pharmacy, and the pharmacist never questioned it?), and counseling was done (or at least a caution driving sticker on the vial).....if all of the above, than the pharmacist should be covered in the case of a lawsuit.
