Brief Answer:
You should take inzofresh for atleast 1 month.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Your cause for insomnia is stress.
So along with inzofresh (Zolpidem), you need stress management also.
You need to take inzofresh for atleast 1 month.
Also start counseling sessions from psychotherapist for stress management.
Consult psychotherapist and discuss your stressors.
Try to find out solution to avoid stressful life.
Once you achieve stress free life, you won't need inzofresh.
Also do weight loss (dieting and exercise). This will also help you in reducing stress and getting good sleep.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

You should not discouraged by all these. Try to learn from your mistakes.
Do work with positive attitude.
Accept your mistakes and try to learn from them.
Discuss your problems with family because family understands better.
And also consult psychiatrist atleast once a month for regular follow up. Initially once a month follow up is required then once 2-3 months follow up I needed.
So be positive and think positive.
