Find cause: You may be getting into a drug dependency that is unwise. Insomnia needs further assessment. Sleep issues can be associated with many medical, psychological, environmental issues as well as sleep hygiene. Please review your situation with prescribing doctor and consider exam with pcp for additional guidance. Hope this helps.

You may need a sleep study to determine what treatments will help. Have a complete physical exam to know if these are caused by an illness. If you are cleared please see a Clinical Psychologist with expertise in multiple types of psychotherapy for help with anxiety. Medications should be managed by a Psychiatrist. If you are not confident in your Psychiatrist see another for a second opinion.
