Others have given better and more comprehensive replies, but since this is a recurrent issue for me, i thought i might suggest what works for me here, limited to my own experience.
Vistaril (atarax, hydroxyzine) is helpful for me; so is melatonin, so it valerian root. Alteril combines melatonin and valerian -and- l-trytophan that certainly works well. I have also had good results with 100mg Trazodone. All of these have worked well for me at different times but they all seem leave me foggyheaded the following day. (The only ones that haven't given me that morning fog have been z-drugs, which for whatever reason tend to make me anxious enough that they're counterproductive!). Everybody's different but I get the most out rotating these medications, and taking breaks. It tends to happen that after five-ish days on any one of them, it's easier to sleep. Taking breaks whenever possible helps my tolerance to them, and exercise is helpful to them all. And of course a combination of things is useful, too.
i haven't used bezos for sleep but i'd be interested to see how well halcion worked out.
lots of luck to you in this! i hope you'll find help sooner rather than later.
