I am so sorry you are suffering from insomnia. It must be so hard on you. I am not a physician or medical professional or anything but I would tend to think that any insomnia that is more than occasional would be something that one could bring up with a physician.

Insomnia afflicts me but is managed by prescription medication: a medicine called Trazadone. Sure hope you find relief from your chronic depression. Insomnia can really eat away at one's peace of mind and joy of living.

OTC Benadryl used to be my "go to" medication of choice for insomnia and it still works, but I am hesitant to use it now that there is some, early medical research that has "linked" it to Alzheimer's disease. There is some question whether the research has established a "cause and effect" link or just a link. Sorry I cannot be more helpful. Hopefully others here will be able to be more helpful to you!
