Thanks for the follow-up, Scott. My Pdoc never really got into WHY he didn't like the Ambien, perhaps it was because of the short duration aspect, but HE was the one to give me the Tranzene (which is indicated in the PDR for sleep problems). I have had Halcion before. Boy-howdy! That put me out for sure, but I had some anxiety issues after several months of use that was attributed to the Halcion, so I had to quit. I have gotten Ativan before, and find it works much better than the Tranzene. Unfortunately, I am in that sort of position where I feel "lucky" he's giving me ANY benzo for as long as he has been, and don't want to push the issue. I know that may sound weird, but I live in a state that is a bit backward about meds.
