That's true, and they are worth trying (although they tend to have much more side effects than Ambien). But an insurance company that claims that trazodone or temazepam is a reasonable *substitute* for Ambien is just lying (or at least, mistaken -- I tend to assume the worst about insurance companies, of course).
