Hi Mirabella,
For the acne, I tried everything and the only thing that helped in the least was oral antibiotics (minocycline) but that completely took care of it. For insomnia, I, too have noticed that it gets progressively worse over time, and because it's a long-term problem, I didn't want to use something like Ambien or Lunesta, because I didn't want to become dependent or addicted. I've used a number of psych meds for insomnia in the past including Seroquel, Trazodone, and remeron, but didn't like the way they made me feel. All of these three made me feel very drugged in the morning (hard time getting out of bed!), so the P-doc decided on Neurontin (gabapentin). I open the capsule (lowest dose they make) and pour about half into my mouth, and that seems to let me sleep without feeling hung over in the morning.
Hope that helps!
Blossom
