I have a chronic anxiety to "fall  asleep". Toss and turn,  sleeping only at 3AM or even later.

Tried AMBIEN - worked very well but doctor said could not use it long-term.

Started a benzodiazepine called VALIUM (or maybe  called LORAX also) which helps a lot

if taken around 9-10 PM ---will let me fall asleep around 1 AM.

 

BUT have incurred serious memory loss. Can't remember names (movies,books)and lately situation has gotten worse because cannot remember simple facts that occurred short time ago.

 

Any advice is really appreciated.
