Rozerem is known to help one fall asleep and does not cause dependence.

If not falling asleep, then hydroxyzine.

[Nammu]

Melatonin

[HALLIEBETH87]

Melatonin.
I take 10mg of it and finally get good sleep most nights

[Nammu]

That's a good point. Most melatonin comes in 3 mg which really isn't enough. It's harder to find the 10mg but worth it.

Quetiapine 50 mg worked for me for about 9 months.

[Angelique67]

Tizanidine but it makes you black out.

[Guiness187055]

As for over the counter I would say benedryl

[still_crazy]

melatonin is a good one. the 10mgs dose has been found in some small studies to help people with tardive dyskinesia, sometimes considerably.

l-theanine (I'd personally go for the "Suntheanine" brand, that's what I take and it helps me...), taurine, valerian, kava kava (unless you're loaded up on drugs and/or have liver issues...), passion flower, lemon balm. With the natural substances, many people end up mixing things to get the effect they're after. so, some valerian+passion flower+melatonin, for instance...that kinda thing.

hope this helps.

Sorry, I only now notice you asked for OTC meds.

Some anithistamines induce drowsiness.

[unlived]

Doxylamine

[toomanycats]

Benadryl.

then, prescription-wise, Trazadone
