Herbal medicines for certain ailments?

Good Evening, I am Lydia, recently new to the website. I have been in a battle with generalized anxiety and OCD since age 9 and have been on different medications. I have also had bouts of Insomnia. For the last 10 months or so, my OCD and anxiety has decreased thankfully (funny enough it decreased after I stopped taking the medications) , however, my Insomnia has gotten terrible! I recently went to the doctor and was prescribed an SRI for the insomnia, however, I am not too happy about being on a medication again but I am desperate, and the following day I feel like a Zombie. I am only taking a quarter of the pill and am still feeling drowsy, tired, and not fully awake during the following day. Prior to going to the doctor I had tried Passion Flower, Chamomile teas, as well as OTC sleeping aids, worked for a little while and then stopped. I am wondering what herbal remedies are good for my mental ailments, especially my Insomnia, and tiredess. I recently bought rhodiola to see if it works. I would love to hear about any knowledge in regards to this.

Lydia
