Hello, thank you for your comment! The best treatment for insomnia would depend on a person’s health profile, so it is advisable to discuss this with your physician. Another option would be to call University of British Columbia Pharmacy. (UBC Pharmacy consultation services: 604-827- 2584). If you speak to the receptionist, you may request an appointment for a consultation with a clinical pharmacist. They are quite helpful and will look at your current health profile and medications you are using in the consultation. Hope that helps!
