Could you doctor maybe prescribe a sleep med that is non-narcotic? I used to take valium and lorazapam, but now take Trazadone for sleep. Some people hate it, but it works for me most of the time. They mentioned other sleep meds that are non-narcotic that works well for them, but I can't remember their names (the meds.). At least that way, you wouldn't have to worry about becoming addicted to the meds. Just a thought. John
