I have used valerian root/camomile combination (either tinctures or compounded into capsules). They are both non-addictive herbal remedies. I used to take Klonipin to sleep and atavan during the day for axiety, at one point I was supposed to take 1 ativan every 4 hours during the day, and 2 klonpin at night (prescribed!!!) for axiety and insomnia. Now, I am relaxed enough to that i don't take anything for sleep anymore, I do feel lucky! But at the time I was going through this I got desperate to try something non-addictive so I went to the local health food store and picked up a valerian/camomile mixture (can't remember the name of the mixture) but just ask the store clerk, or look for those two ingredients. I didn't believe how well they worked! Its worth a try! Take care!
