Hi Delores, hope you doing well. You mentioned that you have tried everything. But What ! Ambien contain zolpidem. Zolpidem is primary drug for any sleep disturbance like paracetamol for fever. I would like to tell that there are 2 types of insomnia.(sleep disorder) primary and secondary. primary means without any other problem. Secondary means due to some physical or psychiatric problems. in primary insomnia in addiction to ambien, benzodizepiens group of drugs availavble which can be prescribed by doctor/psychiatrists after evaluation. In addition to medicines there are certain rules to follow called Sleep Hygiene which you can search on net and follow. I usually advice my patients to have a cup of warm milk before 15 minutes going to bed. it really helps in 30-40% patients and they do not require medicines. In secondary insomnia primary treatment of that main illness should be done and for sleep disturbance short treatment as described above in primary can be tried depending upon illness. Hope I have answer your query, if still any confusion late me know. Thanks & Regards Dr. C.K.Solamki
