The only sleep med that truly works is a benzo....but doctors don't like to prescribe it. They say it's addictive but so is every other sleep med, including Zolpidem (Ambien) which is extremely addictive buy doctors are fine prescribing that. Sleep is extremely important for a person's overall health....I say whatever it takes to get your sleep is fine as long as there is no abuse with the medication.

I agree w you cindisue . There is no really non addictive sleep med ..it’s why I don’t want to use the trazodone that may have helped last nite. Supposedly it’s non habit forming yet I google it and read that it too needs weaning off — c’mon ! But as you say - if you find something that helps and don’t abuse it Go for it ..
I do trust my doc tho. He’s very conservative and careful- so I’ll see .. maybe the traz will go in the trash one day too - thanks for yr reply
