Hey Jerry, have you tried any OTC antihistimines? Chlorpheniramine maleate knocks me out. It's in some allergy meds. I don't know how long it lasts for long term use, but if you are having really bad insomnia it's worth a shot.
Oh, also, my son is on clonodine to help with sleep, and it really does knock him out, but I think it has a short half life - 4 hours maybe. Then again, it could work for you.
Good luck, I hope you get some sleep!
