It depends on the type of insomnia. Some do not require chemotherapy but physiotherapy or simple abstinence of some certain triggers

chemotherapy isnt used to threat insomnia.
i dont do online prescribing but for academic purpose 3 classes of drugs can be use
benzodiazepines
barbiturates
and zee drugs.

also all 1st generation antihistamines are sedatives since histamine is needed for alertness and it inhibits that eg diphenhydramine (one of the drugs found in coughlin thats why the syrup makes u dizzy) some antiepilepsy drugs are sedatives too.
most sedatives are prescription drugs since they cause dependence so u need an M.D prescription to get 1

Are drugs not chemicals?
Is it not a chemotherapic procedure?

Please let's not derail this wonderful thread, what I expected is that you would ask the person to see a doctor who will do a thorough investigation and prescribe the best treatment for the person. Avoid discussions on treatments here. I'm a parent of a newly admitted dental surgery student. Started the thread from scratch please don't encourage treatments here. You could discuss case studies and all.

the best way to learn kiddo is to accept what you dont know only then will u get wiser.
in medical practice "chemotherapy" refers to the use of mostly antimetabolites or cytotoxic drugs in the treatment of cancer or the use of antimicrobial agents. none of this is used to treat insomnia which is a sleeping disorder, there's no clearcut criteria for diagnosing insomnia so its not clearly a medical pathology... i could go on and on but ull get to understand these things better as u progress in your medical education

I just gained admission to study medicine at aau.. but what's the essence of changing if it's because of the academic calendar? You are already in two hundred level, if you change now, you ll be going back to hundred level when you ought to be in 300 level, you ll be spending more time instead.. but if you still choose to change, try delsu, their academic calendar is really fast. Remember you might not get medicine again. A bird in the hand is worth more than two in the bush

For those who didn't read my initial write up, posted above is a link to the write up.
This is the 2nd part in the series of write up.

Anatomy is the bulkiest of the preclinical courses and it involves the study of humans, cells and embryos. It is the course most medical students, tend to read all the time. it requires that you read it more often because it’s both voluminous and easy to forget.
For the anatomy I preferred the gross aspect of it because the rest of it, sort of look abstract to me. I also didn’t like nor dislike neuroanatomy though I was privileged to be taught this aspect of anatamy by prof T.M Shokunbi and other lecturerers (He together with prof malomo and others are Nigeria’s leading authority in the field of neurological surgery as neurosurgery is commonly referred to. T.M Shokunbi was the head of our anatomy department and malomo was the dean of clinical sciences. They hold joint appointments both as professors of anatomy and neurosurgery.)
I remember in the introductory lecture to neuro anatomy course, he asked if anyone wanted to pursue a career in the neurosciences, I think almost everyone raised their hands in affirmation. That he is very charismatic and exeptional is an understatement, he made everyone develop interest in the subject and neurosurgery as a whole. There were other lecturers who made our sojourn through the department worth the time and stress.
PHYSIOLOGY is considered to be the easiest of all basic medical sciences in preclinical school. What made it simple was not that it is less voluminous, as a matter of fact, physiology is as bulky as anatomy but it contains terms that can be easily remembered and its principle can be easily applied to every day health issues. For me surgery is basically a continuation of anatomy while medicine is a continuation of physiology. The testing pattern of physiology in Ibadan med school entails picking either a TRUE or FALSE answer for a single question. A wrong guess attracts a minus of 0.5mark while a correct answer attracts a plus of 1 mark. This rule is applicable for all mcq examinations in clinicals and preclinical schools (in clinicals it is higher than that, for example in hematology for instance any incorrect answer attracts a negative mark of). The first series of tests in physiology is written as MCQs(multiple choice questions) while the latter parts is written as essays .
BIOCHEMISTRY has been regarded for years by medical students as their achilles heel. For me I would say that it’s the least applicable of all the courses in basic medical sciences in clinical practice. It is very abstract and requires lot of cramming for you to be able to pass the course. Though Some find it interesting but a lot find it very difficult.
MEDICAL BIOSTATISTICS is another course that’s worthy of mention in the preclinical school, it involves the use of statistics and mathematics in solving everyday medical and health issues like collecting data for epidemics in a state or region.
A lot of emphasis is placed on practicals, clinical correlates and applications in the preclinical school. Each student is mandated to attend all practical sessions and be able to apply all principles to everyday practice.
