And I am trying differernt natural medication that helps very little.
Thankyou,

Brief Answer:
Malatonin is one option

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting at healthcaremagic.

I read your query at understand your concern.
For the problem of insomnia few natural remedies exist and used routinely. One of the commonly used natural remedies is Melatonin. It is a hormone produced in the brain that helps regulate your sleep and wake cycle. It may help you to fall asleep faster and decrease the number of times you awaken during the sleeping time. This may also help you to sleep for a longer period.

Over-the-counter melatonin is available in the following formulations: 1 mg, 2.5 mg, 3 mg, and 5 mg capsules and 0.5 mg and 3 mg lozenges, 1 mg, 2 mg, and 3 mg timed-release tablets.

You can talk to your doctor to buy one as a alternative to clonazepam.
