A member asked:

I am on my third month of zoloft 50 mg and since i started i suffer from insomnia, dr. prescribed 10mg of melatonin, is there another natural remedy?

Insomnia : I am sorry to hear this- insomnia can be quite troublesome. There are no other natural remedies for this. I would discuss with the prescribing physician changing your antidepressant at this point since 3 months is enough to evaluate if the insomnia would improve with time.

Talk wi your doctor: first before chaging from melatonin to an herbal. Can try warm milk, Valearian root (Valeriana officinalis), California poppy (Eschscholzia californica), Wild lettuce (Lactuca virosa), Lemon Balm ((Melissa officinalis)), passion flower (Passiflora incarnata), Chamomile (Anthemis nobilis), Hops (Humulus lupulus), Lavender (Lavandula officinalis), St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum) & are herbs
