Or any top tips for dealing with insomnia? Please don't say sleep hygiene. Thanks

Not herbal, but promethazine, brand name Phenergen is an antihistamine that also can be used for insomnia. You can buy it over the counter and it can be really effective. I've been prescribed it by the mental health team. Also melatonin, you do have to buy it online and it comes from America.

If both of them options aren't preferred as they aren't herbal, then you can look at boosting your melatonin production naturally. Things like tart natural cherry juice is one option but I can't remember the others.

Hope that helps

I use sleep gummies off Amazon, magnesium spray on my feet and a weighted blanket alongside paroxetine with no issues ☺️
