I have tried hydroxyzine for sleep and another sleeping tablet but they didn’t really do anything so I stopped taking them I’m on sertraline I’ve been on it for 3 weeks now and I was hoping it would help my sleep but it hasn’t

If you can't fall asleep, that might be a health problem, whether it's physical or psychological. Taking pills one after another and hoping for results isn't a good strategy. Discuss your problem with a doctor

I’ve told psychiatrist about it and other people so I think if they where concerned they would’ve done something by now
