Questions & answers. I've been taking a sleeping pill, Ambien, for three months, and it's worked great for me. But now my doctor doesn't want to renew the prescription because she's afraid I may become dependent. Do you have any suggestions?

By the way, doctor. My primary care doctor tells me that all sleeping pills on the market are addictive. Does this mean you develop a craving for them or simply that you become unable to sleep without taking them? I'm 92 and realize that easy sleep and age aren't compatible. Please advise.

On call. I've had my PSA tested every year since 1992 and I'm happy to say it's always been normal. But now my doctor doesn't want to do the test anymore because I'm 78 years old. Should I go to another doctor for my test?
