Insomnia. What seems to help?

I have terrible insomnia. I’ve tried Benadryl, melatonin, acupuncture, and magnesium supplements. Nothing seems to work for me. I’m lucky if I get 2 hours a night of sleep. Has anyone tried something and it worked? Please let me know. Thanks

Have you been to a doctor who specializes in sleep medicine?

I tried all of these and unfortunately ended up taking ambien; I now sleep well.

I have tried all the above including being on lorazepam of which I’m now slowly weaning off. Currently taking mirtazapine which was recommended by a CBT-I sleep therapist and it’s working wonders for me
