I have been trying 5HTP again and I am getting the morning headaches back... I just do not seem to be able to assimilate many supplements , I get side effects ..Darn it ...I know I need to take them ..
5 htp and l-theanine have helped me when no other thing did. I have tried alot, but it worked better than melatonin, passion flower, calm forte, ect.
I too had to get my hypothyroid within normal levels AND get my hormones checked. I now take bioidentical hormone supplements ( I am perimenopausal). I usually get to sleep with just a little help from the above supplements after 3 LONG years of no or very little sleep.
Good luck.

Just noticed something above in thread about eating turkey. The substance is called L-Tryptophan, and it's not banned anymore. The 5-HTP Margy mentioned, however, is a metabolite of tryptophan and is better absorbed.
i am also free of an opiad addiction. i wake up like every 5 hours or less. i have figured it out. it is to smoke a ciggerette and than i can go back to sleep. do you smoke?
Valerian and Kava are your best bet. Melatonin will help regulate your internal clock and has mild sedative effect.
Valerian have sedative effect and will affect the GABA receptor in the brain ( like the benzodiapines like Valium, Xanax, Clonazepam ). Valeric acid found in Valerian is proven to have anti-convulsive propriety. Valerian also contains isovaltrate, which has been shown to be an agonist for adenosine A1 receptor sites. This action may contribute to the herb's sedative effects.
Kava is about the same as Valerian but it can increase dopamine level and inhibits the reuptake of norepinephrine due to the Kavain found in Kava.
