General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,
You haven't mentioned about your sleep pattern in the question hence I'm assuming that you use your medications to fall asleep and experiencing difficulties falling asleep at times.

All the drugs you have mentioned belong to a class called sedative hypnotics which literally means that they can sedate you. I'm unsure if all the three have been prescribed by a single doctor, if so then the dosage must be adjusted as you are experiencing day time fatigue due to the action of these drugs. If you are consuming these drugs for any neurological conditions please do not stop them abruptly or think of withdrawing them. My best advise would be to opt for a reevaluation and readjust the dosage.

Inability to sleep can also be due to stress or constant worrying over things. Try to create some diversion and active lifestyle which can be of great use.
