How can I get off ambien and still sleep

Well the Ambien wasn’t working as great as it used to but I still go a few hours of sleep. I decided to see a sleep specialist and he immediately put me on Lunesta. I asked about tapering off the Ambien before taking the Lunesta. He said I did not need to. Long story short, Lunesta 3 mg did nothing but give me 3 restless night. It did not work and I put myself back on Ambien. I sent a note to the doctor about this and have not heard back.

Yah....doctors don't like to prescribe the sleep meds that really work... Flurazepam or Lorazepam. For some people, Trazodone works....but it didn't for me. Mirtazapine is another one that works for some people. Good luck.
