Insomnia is a bugger, and I have to admit that I have not found an adequate solution to my insomnia.
The problem, for me, is finding something that treats my depression without causing insomnia - or finding treatments for insomnia which doesn't cause depression.
I have benzos on hand, but they all seem to make me more depressed (when taken long term).
I have had some sucess with the migrane herb feverfew, for combatting antidepressant induced insomnia. The herb rosemary has helped a bit (it contains a gaba-t inhibitor). You can chew on the needles or make a tea.
Low dose remeron might be an option. I'd try it before trazodone or seroquel. Hydroxyzine is o.k. but there is still hangover and (for me) mood altering effects.
