Suggest A Medication For Good Sleep

! am 69 years old and I live directly above a disco in Sorrento, Italy. I am Australian but due to a long time job here, I am in Italyt. The rock music continues until 3am and for nearly a month now, I can not sleep. I can not afford to move and the owners do not care in any way. I know they need to make money, but it is killing me. My windows rattle, I sleep with noise cancelling headphones. I am so depressed I want to take the strongest possible medication - in fact I considered on Friday to overdose on anything. Can you please suggest a drug that will knock me out. I have no relatives, and maybe this is the best way. Suicide is a bad word, but perhaps at this stage, it is worth considering. You have my Australian billing address because the payment grid does not allow me to give you all the Italian details.

But the Italian address is Corso Italia 192, Piano di Sorrento Italy and the bar causing this horror is called the Honda Bar, Please help me.

I read your question and I understand how difficult it must be to be deprived from sleep and the depressive symptoms that bring.
However I don't think you are going about this the right way, medicines are not the solution, you don't have to risk your life so that others enjoy theirs. Sleep medicines do not work if there is not the right environment anyway.
Please call the police or any other local authorities, I am sure there can be an end to this affair, what they are doing is certainly not legal.
Perhaps you have some reason to be intimidated by these people, but since your life is suffering to the point of discussing suicide I don't see what can you fear worse than that.
Anyway whether you decide to denounce them or move to another place, I suggest you ask for the help of a psychiatrist regarding your depression issues, I assure you there is much that can be done to help, but an evaluation is necessary first.

I hope things work out for the best.
