Ambien stopped working

Unfortunately I'm not able to sleep much. I have been on ambien 10mg until it just stopped working. Lunesta, hydroxizine, 1mg ativan, melatonin, magnesium, thc, all the herbs for sleep. I might get 2 hours of sleep during the night. Chronic pain doesn't help. Usually about 2 nights I just lay awake all night and don't sleep at all. I even paid 600$ at the advice of my dr for a hypnotist. Seroquel works for about 4 hours of sleep but only once a week. But it's a bad med: increased my blood sugar and cholesterol. I'm 55 and so frustrated because its been over 3 years of this and it's really starting to affect me negatively. I used to get up and stay busy even tho I didn't sleep. Now I walk around like a tired zombie. I hope we can both get some help!

Missusie0625, you need to get a new doctor! Oh my gosh....they just keep giving you crap that doesn't work! And it's making your life a living Hell....DO NOT PUT UP WITH THIS...go back to your doctor and ask them to prescribe you either Clonazepam or Lorazepam......they are truly the only meds that help some people. And who cares if they are in the "benzo-addictive" class.....all those other sleep meds are addictive too....but they DO NOT WORK! Don't give up....please keep going back to your doctor and demand they give you a benzo medication. And if they won't. then go to a psychiatrist....they will help you....

I will pray for you to and I also pray you find something that helps you...
