I'm a bit of an insomniac anyway, so when I was on chemo, my Dr. gave me Ambien which worked well. Her feeling was that " you need your sleep" while going through chemo. A good night's sleep is important and helps you heal .But like anything , else, moderation and common sense is key. I stopped taking it after chemo but still have a prescription for it and if I have a particularly difficult night sleepng, I'll take one.
Talk to your doctor about it. They all differ as to their opinions re: taking something for sleep. Some hand them out like M&M's while others are overly cautious about the risk of addiction.
Mine is kind of common sense about it and so am I. Use it but don't abuse it I guess is good advice.
Good luck.
