Medicine Question: Drugs that can put you to sleep at night?

Everyone is different, but here’s my take...

OVER THE COUNTER
- Diphenhydramine (Benadryl), worthless
- Melatonin, worthless
- Chamomile, worthless
- CBD, somewhat effective at high doses
- Valerian root, worthless
- L-tryptophan, worthless

PRESCRIPTION ONLY
- Zolpidem (Ambien), the best as long as taken on an empty stomach and for no more than two consecutive nights, so good luck every 3rd night
- Trazodone, worthless
- Hydroxyzine, worthless
- Seroquel, somewhat effective at high doses
- Olanzapine, somewhat effective at high doses
- Mirtazapine, very effective but has 24 hour half-life and will give a hangover sedative feeling
- Doxepin, can be okay at no more than 6mg
- Propranolol, worthless
