What Is The Treatment For Insomnia?

Dear Dr. My lipid profile shows Triglycerides 183, HDL 40, LDL 263, Cholesterol Ratio 6.3. I am 61 yrs old having no heart problem. I suffer from Insomania (could sleep only 2 hrs in the night for the last three months) I was advised Placidox-2mg, tds, and Libotryp DS (Amitrityline and chlorodiazopoxide) in 1992 by an young Dr. unfortunately husband and wife were murdered in 1996. These medicines suited me when I felt anxiety and depression and sleeplessness. Psychiastist prescribed Paroxetine hcl 12.5 only in morning and clonazepam 0.5 mg both after meal in the morning and Zolpidem tartarate 12.5 mg at bed time. I am taking these medicines from the last two days. In the meantime lipid profile made cardiologist prescribed Rozavel-F 20/160 at 1 hs.

You are requested to advise. If I get sleep I feel OK. I do walking in the morning upto 3.5 km and also run 500 metres feel no chest or heart problem. Only sleep problem is causing difficulty.
