Patti, ativan didn't work for me either...also, that family of drugs is notorious for working great at first, and then tapering off to not working at all.
Did you try splitting those Ambiens in half at all? Maybe your body could do okay with a smaller dose?
Another thing they tried for me was Remeron - and OH MY...I slept better than EVER, and no waking in middle of night. But, I had a rare side effect with it...and they decided to take me off of it. At first, you can get next-day tiredness...but it's good to bear with it as it *usually* wears off.
