Does anyone have experience taking low dose Remeron for sleep?

I have had insomnia for a very long time and take Ativan 3-4 nights a week between .5 and 1mg.
but then I don't sleep for the in between nights I don't take it. I am afraid to take Ativan every night because it might not work and then becoming addicted but at almost 81 should I even worry about being Addicted??!
I have no quality of life. So I have been reading about those who are taking Remeron as I am thinking of asking my Dr. to put me on it. I have anxiety too. But i too am worried about weight gain as I have lost at lot of weigh in the last 10 years.
Has anyone experienced taking Ativan every night and does it work each night ??
I would be very interested hearing from you.
Tried cbt 1 counseling but at $250 for 50 minutes i just afford to continue.
Anyone ha any luck getting more affordable cbt -1 counseling?
Looking forward to hearing your comments. Thanks

@myhappyplace I wouldn’t even consider remeron for sleep. I tried it for depression and had terrible side effects.
I am 74 and at 81 the last thing you should worry about is getting addicted to something. Try clonazepam but only take on an as needed basis. I think it would work better than Ativan. It is definitely addictive but getting a good night sleep is important.
If you are not exercising try that as well.
Good luck to you.
