Hi doctor,
I have been having recurring insomnia now and then. In a month at least five to eight days I have no proper sleep and it is hampering my day to day activities. I lack interest. I am under stress and my mind feels foggy. I am on Escitalopram 10 mg. Please suggest me some good medicine which can help me to cope with this. Thank you.

Thank you doctor,
They denied to give the medicine saying it is a scheduled drug and prescription is required. Please let me know how to go about it. Can a scanned prescription be made available?
