For long-term management of anxiety-induced insomnia, it's important to consider non-habit forming medications. Options like **Melatonin** or **Hydroxyzine** can be used, but lifestyle modifications are crucial too, such as maintaining good sleep hygiene, regular exercise, and limiting caffeine and alcohol intake. It's also essential to address the underlying anxiety through therapy or stress management techniques.
For a personalized treatment plan, I recommend consulting with me directly to better understand your specific situation and needs.

There is no medicine of this sort!
Every medicine has its side effects
Some may cause less addiction compared to others but one can’t rule it out completely.
To start or stop any psychiatric treatment or medicine, one need to have complete evaluation with psychiatrist.
Self medication could lead to many side effects, which might not get reversed easily.
