Some people just have sleep issues...happens to lots of people who don't have emotional issues...it's an age thing too.....but if your doctor will give you lorazepam or flurazepam....those are the ones that work! Ambien is terrible! But Trazodone does work for some people....good luck!

Thanx cindisue- I’m looking into the 2 meds you suggested- I’m glad I joined this group - don’t feel so alone - and I definitely feel for all …
I’m starting to feel my max is 5 hours of sleep !I can function on that ..but it’s not every nite - I’ve changed my pre sleep habits- no technical stuff
no tv in the bedroom. Etc etc
I had a rough time w a relationship ( torturous) in the early 90s . I was an idiot … (but more self loving now )so I started ambien around 2007 - Prescribed by a psychiatrist .. Im a happy camper now -tho I list my mom 2 yrs ago —- tuff stuff - been thru lots of therapy .. happily married - got a good life - got a dysfunctional family living in different states -
but who doesn’t -the stuff just doesn’t work … what’s wrong w this picture ???!!
I want to get off ambien… I have no qualms getting on something else however
Still testing the tranz and 2 1/2 mg of zolpidem
It’s been a month so far
- only 3 days w tranz
I pray for all of us sleepless ones !
