Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Ambien can be taken for a long time, several months, when really necessary, so given that you are finding it impossible to sleep without it it can be used. However regarding the prescription I am afraid you can't get a prescription here as we can't release online prescriptions, will have to wait for your doctor or see another one.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
