I’m in an extremely stressful time of my life - I normally can manage my stress, but it’s affecting my sleep and my normal sleep routine isn’t cutting it. Any recommendations for pharmaceutical sleeping pills or something to help with my stress? I don’t have the funds to go to many doctors. I am an (amateur) herbalist, so I’m familiar with all the herbal remedies. I’m needing to bring in the big guns for this season, until it starts to lighten up. I don’t like melatonin - no matter the dose, it makes me groggy. I already take l-theanine at night and it helps somewhat.

EDIT: Thank you all for the suggestions!
