Does any over the counter medication other than melatonin help you sleep? I can’t sleep without it and I’m starting to not be able to sleep with it. I take 10mg. I have epilepsy and my seizures are triggered by lack of sleep but my anxiety keeps me up and I’m restless. Any advice would help. Thank you.

Benadryl works for most people and relatively small side effects possibility

I have been taking Glycine and these little chocolates from sprouts with Gaba and L theanine. It has been an absolute game changer. Im terrified of side effects too. This has helped me so much I can't even tell you. Also can you eat spinach?

No it hasn’t, I don’t think that’s a common symptom
It’s sounds like you have insomnia. I would recommend going to a psychiatrist to get sleeping pills. Ambien and lunesta have worked best for me. You could try taking a Benadryl at night but it stops helping after a week or so. Over the counter stuff never really worked for me :/
@Weds did they make you gain weight?
@Weds I can’t take Benadryl because of my seizures :(. I’m about to start antidepressants again, I’ll ask about those meds
