Hi Phillipa, I agree with all that. Ambien won't (completely) substitute for Valium. You might be able to take half your normal Valium dose and some Ambien as well, or sometimes with herbs I can take less Valium and some herbs (Chinese ones) at night. But it hasn't been that successful, I've been taking benzos for 30 years too. You've got to find a prescribing doctor, have you?
When I was in Tasmania my normal prescription was not cashable, so I had to find a doctor in a strange town. I explained I was being Rxd Valium, he said what for, and in an inspired moment I said that I was being treated for agitated depression with Valium and Parnate. Had a remarkable effect.
Another time I needed some going overseas and I asked for Valium and the doctor said no, not unless you're addicted to it. I wasn't so quick there. You have to think on your feet.Declan
