First of all, try to remove or minimize the stressor, exercise daily & start doing some meditation or yoga, along with this take psychiatry opinion.
Sleep medications usual side effect is weight gain, but you don't have to develop dependency on them, so take this as a short term treatment.
Next Steps
Start Physical Exercise, Yoga, Meditation
Health Tips
Consult with psychiatrist.
