I'm so sorry I didn't respond sooner and thank you all for taking the time to respond and offer advice and suggestions. What I ended up doing was taking Xanax, but double the dose that I would take for anxiety. Although it didn't help me fall asleep, it relaxed me and, when I did fall asleep, I slept though the night. I am also trying Ashwagandha and it seems to make me sleepy and help me sleep through the night. So, I have two options now.
I had to confess to my pdoc that I used Xanax (it was an old prescription given by my old family doctor which I have rarely used in the past 1 1/2 years), and my pdoc was not mad at all. He even said he uses Xanax when he travels and when stressed. Go figure :-) Then he really surprised me and asked if I need a prescription for Xanax, which I didnt, but it's nice to know if I need a refill I won't have to beg for it. I am so grateful that I found this pdoc.
Anyway, thanks again, and sorry for being so tardy in responding.
