Hey, Need2know. I'm not a doctor and everyone is unique. Having said that, one med that comes up all the time is Seroquel in low doses (25 mg to 100 mg). But you need to talk to your psychiatrist about this. He/she may have valid reasons for suggesting something else.   One natural treatment that keeps coming up all the time is melatonin. A lot of leading pdocs use this as their first choice. It's over the counter, but you need to be consulting your psychiatrist.   Also, it's vital to keep to a strict daily schedule. You don't want your brain racing at night, so devote evening activities to winding down, not to catching up. If something is upsetting you during the day, do your best to resolve it; otherwise - with our illness - you're guaranteed to lose sleep over it. Hope this helps -
