I also have terrible insomnia, started during chemo. I take melatonin + either Benadryl or Unisom (another OTC anti-histamine that causes drowsiness) and that works really well for me. It is the truth when I say that if I did not take this combo, I would not sleep a wink, ever! Trust me, I have tried.

I had no luck with any of the sleeping pills, and did not want to take them long term anyway. I am going 4 years strong with this insomnia, so I don't think it is going away anytime soon :O

Tell your doctor and find out your options. I found a naturopath doc and he was the one who helped me find the right supplements to help me sleep.
