In addition to Toughy's response, you can also try trazodone (generic name, most general practitioners will prescribe) or you can go to any store that sells vitamins and get some melatonin (always check with pharmacist first). It might be difficult if a regular family doctor is prescribing your sleep aid to get them to put you on Remeron; a psychiatrist would be more willing to do so as they are better educated as to how it might interact with other medications as it is a psychotropic medication.

Not giving any recommendations, just some other options.
