Diphenhydramine a.k.a. Benadryl, Advil PM, Tylenol PM its all basically the same and what i use every night. I take 100mg's which is alot but its what gets me to sleep... Melatonin is good but week in my opinion as is valerian.. Go with the Benadryl its good stuff.. Maybe ur doses are a touch high as well..
I agree w/ Nelson. Something is wrong b/c those compounds should have that impact on you. I would dive further intot he problem before I took another pill/drug.
I take Seriquil nightly. A horse couldn't stay awake on it.
Well, that and you are exhausted from not sleeping the other nights.
Valerian combined with L-Theanine is great! Solaray has the most potent of both. Melatonin sucks.
5-HTP can help, it converts I believe to tryptophan (think sleepy after turkey) and then into serotonin. So it can help you sleep and maybe pick up your mood.
