I don’t know if this helps but you are not alone in your challenges. I have had insomnia with resulting anxiety and depression for 5 years and have also tried so many drugs with unbearable side effects. I have always been sensitive to drugs. I am 71 years old now and in good health if not for what this unrelenting insomnia is doing to my body. One of the natural supplements that has helped me with anxiety is Lidtke Tryptophan. It works best if you empty the capsule on your tongue and let the saliva mix with it for as long as you can before taking a drink of water. In about 15-30 minutes you should notice a calmness. Just swallowing the capsule may work, but not as well. Depending on how bad your insomnia is, taking 2 or 3 capsules before bed may help you sleep. Recently while having blood drawn the nurse asked how I was and I told her how the insomnia was ruining my life. That day I was almost in tears. She told me she would pray for me and for me to recite the 23rd Psalm every night and she would pray it with me. That meant more to me than she will ever know- the compassion and kindness of a stranger. And if you will recite the 23rd Psalm every night, I will pray for you Dorothy. Together, may God hear our burdens and prayers and heal us. I am here for you and understand your suffering and believe there is an answer for us.
