I saw a pdoc who prescribed me Ambien. I hate him for it. I wish he talked me out of being so obsessed with thinking I needed a med for sleep. I would have done better realizing sleep anxiety was a warning sign for my depression/anxiety.
If it's only sleep onset insomnia, you don't need Ambien. You need to realize that with breathing exercises, it's impossible for your brain to have thoughts fast enough to delay sleep onset.
And if it's sleep onset insomnia, it's rarely something besides anxiety or depression causing it. And that's more important to deal with.
