Have you tried Trazodone? It's an antidepressant and you have to have a prescription but it works great! That is, it worked well for me. I had to stop taking it for other reasons but hope I can go back to using it again some day.

Have you ever tried melatonin? That works okay. I also use Ambien - but that's prescription, too.

I've never used Tylenol PM for sleep and it would be my last resort. I would think that it would cause rebound insomnia pretty badly - i.e. - become so habit forming that you when you went off of it, you wouldn't be able to fall asleep naturally.

Anyway, good luck to you. You don't suffer alone; that's for sure!
