There are several products on the market but can't say whether they are any better than Nytol or not.
I don't think there is anything stronger than Nytol over the counter here.
If you know anyone going to the USA soon, ask them to get you Unisom. It's very good.
Sorry, not an immediate solution, I know. Ask the doc for something else.
Unisom......is Diphenydramine......Benadryl in the UK.
Certainly worth a shout.
^^ it is an antihistamine.
Can. You take half a tablet ?
Tablets aren't that helpful, try and exercise in fresh air during the day, no caffeine in any form after about 2pm and no electronic screen use including TV for at least 2 hours before bedtime. Use an alarm clock if needed to make sure you get up on time. You won't fall asleep at 11pm if you have n't got up before 11am [ unless you are a teenager ! ]

Thank you all for your help.
sominex - over the counter - best you can get otc. 8 pack or 16 pack.
Try some lavender oil on your pillow. It worked for me some years ago, after trying nytol.
I was awake the whole night with the smell of the lavender.
Try one Codeine 15mg or two 8mg. Might bung you up a bit but eat more fruit. Works for me, and I used to lie awake for hours.
look for relaxation CD's. This worked for me. My library used to have them so you could borrow them, like books. After a few nights of listening to these (I got two different ones from the library), I was sleeping like a baby. You can also buy them quite reasonably on eBay. Good luck
..wisgang'ssuggestion has a lot going for it. I often have trouble sleeping and Nitol sometimes works, sometimes not. But I have several therapeutic CDs forsleep, confidence etc. I have never reached the end of any of them without falling asleep. Use in bed at a quiet time.
Melatonin if you can get it in the UK
doing a big diy project works for me, paint a couple of rooms, sort the garden out, or build something to tire yourself out
