Good alternatives: As mentioned, you must see a doc in person but drugs should be a last resort. Consider 5-HTP, theanine, magnesium, & herbs like valerian, passionflower, skullcap, hops, ashwagandha & tulsi tea, also homeopathic remedies. Avoid caffeine later than noon. Exercise in the morning & meditation in the evening can help.Try guided meditations/music to induce sleep on Youtube.See http://tinyurl.com/ykeswc9
