How Often Do Doctors Prescribe Benzodiazepines Like Restoril or Ambien for Insomnia?

Question by Zack W: How often do doctors prescribe benzodiazepines like Restoril or Ambien for insomnia?
I suffer from debilitating insomnia/anxiety problems. My current doctor (psychiatrist) has stated that she doesn’t believe in writing narcotics & refuses to prescribe controlled/scheduled drugs that I read are FDA proven to work such as the benzodiazepine Restoril or the hypnotic Ambien. Anxiety keeps me awake often at night. She has me on 100mg of Vistaril for sleep and it is useless for sleep and my anxiety.
I am going to see a new GP and ask them if they will prescribe me something that actually works. I’ve tried otc things like benadryl and melatonin and they also do nothing. Which drug does the best job of knocking you out? I have no alcohol/drug abuse issues so my psychiatrist is being rediculous.
