I'm still within my dose and whenever I take it for anxiety it works perfect at the lowest dose. I think I should just ask for something real to sleep with. I don't want actual sleeping pills like ambien, trazadone or lunesta because they scare me. I guess we'll see. any thoughts?

I have recently been put on Ambien. I was VERY scared to take sleeping pills. But, my doctor told me that I need not be worried because I will be able to wake up if I need to. Which is true. I lay down and close my eyes when I first take them and then I sleep. There has been 2 times I have had to wake up out of a dead sleep, and I had no problems. He has me on a low dose and it is working for me. Everyone is different. What I did was have my husband keep an eye on me and help me out if one of the kids needed my attention; that is until I found out how I was going to react the the medicine. Good luck!!
