Insomnia is a psychological issue; treating insomnia using allopathic medications is inadequate. Picture that you are on the road driving a car, and your petrol tank is leaking; how far is repeated refilling of your petrol tank going to take you, till you fix the leak? taking a tablet for insomnia is like filling petrol while the leak is still there; here, the leak' is some psychological issue. Since it has been going on for over 20 years now, it is chronic and resistant; you must go to a psychotherapist or a psychoanalyst who can help you get to the root of the problem.
