Hi,
I'm new but I saw your post and wanted to add something if thats ok. I know its too late for your immediate sleeping problem, but for a long-term sleeping aid I agree with the post on trazodone. It works really well and doesn't make you feel hung over once you've taken it for a couple of days and gotten used to it. Ambien is not recommended for long-term use b/c it can be habit forming and cause awful withdrawls - i know. My doc said you can only use it 7-10 days safely and it made me sick stopping it. You can take trazodone lomg-term even if you have past addition problems and it works. Sometimes I get crazy dreams on it and I feel like I can't move my legs but I always had crazy dreams. All I know is it makes you sleep and sleep all night long and still be able to wake up when your alarm clock goes off.
Just a thought.
