Discuss w/ Dr: Even i this is short-term, get help so the benefits of this powerful drug will be gained. If longer-term - you definitely need an alternative or a solution. Self-Hypnosis might work - diet choices and oter behavioral ideas for bringing on sleep may help (lots of online advice - even here on HT). Talk to your Dr!
