Hoping for sleep meds.

I've had insomnia off and on for many years. But it's been worse the past week. I got laid off of work last week. Hardly getting any sleep, like 2-3 hours a night. Luckily for me I start another job tomorrow, but the hours are going to be brutal. M-F 4:30 pm to 3 am and some Saturdays 2 pm to 10 pm. But believe me, I'm just glad to be working again.

I took otc diphenhydramine last night. It helped a little. I made an appointment with my internal doctor for tomorrow morning hoping to get Ambien, Trazadone or whatever meds he thinks is best. I've never done prescription sleep meds. But I've been so jacked up lately I just can't shut my mind off. I'm afraid the insomnia will wipe me out and I won't be able to do this new job.

Which kind of doctor is best for getting sleep prescription meds?
