The knee is better, thanks to physical therapy. At first I was prescribed trazidone, which did not help. Now I am on zolpidem, which helps me get about 3-4 hours a night. I guess zolpidem is another term for ambien. Around mid-January I went cold-turkey and I got to a point where I was sleeping more or less normally, but my problem was falling back asleep after getting up in the middle of the night. Now, I have regressed big-time. My doctor recommended that I see a counselor to help me with my sleep habits. A night before I was to see her I couldn't get to sleep and that's been my pattern for a couple weeks now. Go to bed around 10:30, usually I'm pretty tired, then toss and turn for 2 hours until I take a zolpidem to put me out.

Thank you Craig. I am pretty new to insomnia and staying positive has always been a struggle for me. Your encouraging words are very helpful.
