I sometimes have ruminating thoughts and they certainly are unpleasant.
I found Clomipramine very helpful for ruminations and sleep at higher doses.
Its supposed to be good for OCD and I 'think' there is a link between ruminations and OCD.Its effectivness is not instant however, you'd have to wait a few weeks, I wouldn't pin your hopes on it as my situation is different from yours, but its worth a try, I think.
Hope I've helped a bit!
