I take doxylamine succinate when I can't sleep--OTC maximum strength Unisom. It's exactly what I need--something that calms my mind so I can sleep. When I take it I can't focus on any one thing and can't fixate myself into a panic attack (all too common without the doxylamine succinate). I've been working on using mindfulness instead of it, but when that fails...better living through chemistry.

I've also taken Sonata. It's similar in that it really just...relaxes you to sleep.

But yeah, you're not alone in having to take pills to sleep. My brain would keep me up 24/7 if it had its way. But I have to sleep sometime, and more often than not, I need some help.
