Anjul, Have you tried the otc drug, Diphenhydramine? It is found in Benadryl or store forms of the same. Very inexpensive! It is also the ingredient in Tylenol P.M.. I take the liquid allergy medicine form and buy it at Publix because they have their store brand, Publix ALLERGY MEDICINE in a pink and white box. It is SO much cheaper than Tylenol P.M. and does not have the added pain relief that you may not need at bedtime. If you decide to take it, take the maximum dosage for adults (4 tsp.), and that will equal the amount found in the Tylenol P.M. medicine.
I've tried Trazadone and found that diphenhydramine works better for me and I feel less drugged/more refreshed in the morning. At times I've also added Melatonin, found in most supplement aisles of grocery stores, if after taking the diphenhydramine I wake up in the night or am not asleep 45 minutes after taking it. I really hope this helps!! It has been a life saver for me. Bali
