I have been on 2mg slow release melatonin for two months and now it has stopped working. Is there a better drug as I'm getting no sleep at all now.

I'm up to 5mg of Melatonin plus 8 mg of Ramelteon plus 50mg of Diphenhydramine. I was doing fine with 10mg of Valium but they stopped that because they said I could become addicted to it even after taking it for 10+ years. It worked so now I'm taking the aforementioned and tossing a bit at night. Good luck!
