Hello doctor,I suffer from insomnia that had increased in the last year. I used a lot of medications that were prescribed to me by my local physicians such as (Diazepam, Lorazepam, Alprazolam, and Mirtazapine). Initially, it is useful at the beginning and then insomnia returned. I also follow a behavioral treatment (went to the bed at 12:00 AM and wake up at 7:00 AM on a regular schedule) but the problem is persisting. The main point is when I go to bed, I did not fall in sleep for at least three hours and in some cases stay awake till morning despite the medication that I took at night. My main concern is I want to sleep directly when I go to bed even if I sleep for few hours only. Looking forward to hearing from you and give me a suitable advice or medication.
