Polly,I take Ambien for sleep also, I have had Insomnia for about a year and a half now. Fortunetly, I don't experience any side effects with it. I've also had success with Remeron. If you have a low tolerance for meds, a low dose (5-10mg) might do the trick for you. One of the side effects of Remeron is an increased appetite for a lot of people. So, if putting on weight is a big concern for you, this might not be the answer.
BuSpar did not work for me, but I've read here of many having success with it. In the overall scheme of AAs it seems to be a very mild one, and with your low tolerance level it might be a possible answer for you.
As always you should discuss any suggestions you get here with your doctor. I wish you luck in finding the right "stuff" for you. Please keep in touch and let us know how you're doing.
Peace,
Greg
