I would advise seeing a psychiatrist (not therapist)!. Even better if you can find one who specializes in sleep disorders!. I had horrible problems like you described and I thought I would eventually go batty from the insomnia!. My regular doctor sent me to a sleep disorder specialist, and we work to find out the root of my problem!. He continues to keep me on Ambien, because I never take more than the dosage he advises and feels that for me the benefits outweigh the addiction risks!. I've been on it for 3 years and feel sane again!.
It says it should be used short term under normal circumstances, but not all are normal!.
Another option is that he/she would help properly wean you off by reducing the dosage slowly and using another sedative like Tranxene!.

"Do I need to see a head dr!?"
That's up to you!.!.!.
You can sleep without them, I know you can!. It may be difficult to get off of them, but it is possible!. Try cutting down on your dosage to wean yourself off of them and tell yourself you can sleep!. You probably have a physical dependency on them, as well as a mental dependency, so I think it'd be best to cut down on them and keep telling yourself that you can go to sleep without them and actually believe in that!. Maybe you can try hot chocolate or milk to get to sleep!.!.!.I wish you the best of luck with it, I know you can do it :) You'll be in my prayers!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

There's a reason doctors won't keep prescribing it to you!.!.!. it's a strictly SHORT-TERM medication!.
If a doctor (and even the pharmacist) were to keep allowing you to take it beyond the suggested time!.!. they'd be helping you get addicted and disrupt your natural sleep!.
The reason you didn't go is because you knew the counselor would only give you advice and that that advice would NOT include sleeping pill prescriptions!. You don't want advice, you just want more sleeping pills!.
You need to stop taking them!.!. they only disrupt your natural sleep and make it harder to sleep once you're off of them!.
Exercise to the point of exhaustion and find ways to relieve stress!.!. and then tell me you can't sleep! Easy fixes (like Ambien) are generally the worst and the ones that last the shortest amount of time!.
If all else fails, you can try (again, short-term!!!) Melatonin over-the-counter for 2-3 months to get your sleep cycle reset!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
