I've experienced this, even joke that I just may get a longer sleep at times without the meds., sure they help me fall asleep faster, but I wake a few times, even waking up wanting to eat something, "sleep eating", I've shyed away from the sleeping pills unless I really have a problem.
I find Ativan, helps me, even though it isn't a sleeping pill, but an anti-anxiety med. Again, I only use "as needed" and plus pdoc's do not give you much qty per refills, soooooooooo I stretch out using them if I'm having a bad week/month.
Hope all goes well with your appt. I have mine today, I go once every 2 months for med monitoring.
Take care,
DE
