Hello Lisaschultz327....it sucks not being able to sleep. Have you tried Lunesta...Estazolam...or the extended release Ambien? Or some people say the CBD/THC Gummies work very well. You can get a very low amount if THC if you want to start out mild if you aren't used to THC. I have not tried these yet as I am not a THC user but I think I am gonna try them because I know people who use them that say they work very well and these people are not marijuana smokers. Good Luck....I am trying to get off Ambien because I don't want to take a sleep med every night....but Ambien is very very addictive as I just learned this past week. Had taken it for about a week every night...and the first night I didn't take it....it was a hell of a withdrawal. Extreme Anxiety!! So bad I had to leave work because I felt sick. And doctors are so willing to give out this medication but won't give us something like a benzo drug that really works. I took Flurazepam for over 10 years but only 1 or 2 times a week. Never had to take more than that. Ambien is so addictive that even after 1 or 2 nights of taking it...you have a hard time sleeping the 1st night you don't take it. Flurazepam never did that to me.

I agree, ambien is a controlled drug just as benzos are. But because of the epedemic doctors feel it's better to give the lesser of two evils in their eyes. But if you only have to take the benzo that is made for sleep, a couple times a week why give the ambien you have to take every single day. It's a really sad situation and a very real one for people who can't sleep. You can't function without sleep, think, remember, concentrate. There are psychiatrists who will give benzos, usually older ones who nunderstand how they work, look at each patient separately not lumping us all into addicts. Good luck. I'm on benzoyl, zanax, which I want to switch to flurazepam, so I know there are doctors who will give them.
