Well neither melatonin or Restavit work very well. Iโ€™ve just bought some actual caffeinated coffee to have in the mornings in the hopes that will help.

Unfortunately thereโ€™s the risk of aggravating anxiety and my stomach. I wish Iโ€™d been able to get one of those tiny 50g jars

you have to order from the US, but sleep aid (which is basically American Benadryl) is an antihistamine like Restavit but a bit more powerful.

Have you tried CBD oil?...assuming you're talking about sleep? Helps me enormously. Non THC version means I can have it nightly. You'd need a script, but that's fairly simple.

Seconding this. CBD oil or even the wafers can help immensely!
