i had insomnia myself i wanted prescription meds but my prevous drug history prevented my p-doc from prescibing them (actually glad he didnt now). i use the herb valerian and the suppliment melatonin an hour before i want to try to sleep. it gave me a big improvement. I also cut my 2nd cup of coffee out of my life. now im sleeping adiquatly. my general rule is if you can avoid more medication its for the better. Im also really against using anti-psychotics for sleep, they really do muck with your brain and can zombie someone out.
