Very expensive, no generic, not covered by insurance, poor reviews, so no, I haven't tried it. When you say everything on the market, I hope that includes measures such as cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia or another form of insomnia therapy, abdominal breathing, relaxation, meditation, some non drug therapies. You won't develop dependence, tolerance, withdrawal or suffer side effects from non drug therapies, as you likely will with literally every single drug there is with the capacity to sedate.

CBT is definitely worth trying, but the psychologist I worked with was honest about the fact that it doesn't work for everyone suffering from depression and/anxiety. I've tried it twice and learned some valuable tools for coping with insomnia, but it didn't solve my sleep issues. I have recently returned to meditating daily and hope it will eventually prove helpful with sleep. My general anxiety is definitely less with meditation.
