i have only ever been on Zoloft...it has worked wonders for me so far except, honestly, i'm going through a hard time right now and I'm not completely sure it's still working or if i'm not crazy and what's happening really is that bad...so I can't help you there. however for sleep aids, I have heard that certain antihistamines are really good. there is one that's been around forever, really old, sold at Costco called...sleep-aid lol. I've heard there is no remnants of drowsiness or hangovers. I was going to pick it up and check it out. other people have said good things about other types of antihistamines too in the correct dose for only help with sleeping and not battling allergic reactions. I have no information whatsoever on what you probably think of when you imagine sleeping pills.
