He's a nice guy and listened when I first saw him and did write the script for two 10 mg tablets which is high. But mental health is not his balwick. Our relationship is pretty much that the pharmacy calls him and he renews the scripts.

I toss and turn most of the night. I got up last night and watched tv, came here and read a bit before going back to bed and achieving a zen state to get some rest. I can't keep that up for days so yeah......my goal is to get a dr appointment. And maybe bring up the vomiting too.
ambien stopped working for me too. my PDoc gave me KPin to use for sleep, but I don't want to get too dependent on it, so I don't use it every night and when I do, I still wake up in the middle of the night. good sleep is something we all definitely need in order to function in a normal manner through-out the day. I know, personally, I need to get into that zen type of sleep you mentioned.

I hope you get in soon to see a Doc. definitely bring up the vomiting. maybe a side effect?
