Brief Answer:
BENZODIAZEPINES

Detailed Answer:
Hello thanks for posting your query.

Its really sad that you lost both of your boys and I can understand your pain. The huge loss is main reason of your poor sleep and major depression. You have been taking medicines for depression but there are no sleep medicines.

You are under severe distress so as per my opinion there is need for some hypnotic or sleep medicine at least for some time. In severe insomnia medicines of Benzodizepines group like Clonazepam, Lorazepam etc or of Z-drugs group like Zolpidem, Zopiclone can be used. These medicines help to induce sleep in severely distressed individual. The medicines should be taken for short duration only because they are liable to produce tolerance.
Some antidepressants like Mirtazapine, Trazodone can also be utilised in severe insomnia. These medicines don't cause dependence and help in depression also. Discuss about this with your treating doctor.

The hair fall could be due to severe stress and loss of sleep. Improvement in symptoms of depression will decrease your hair fall. I would advise you to take BIOTIN containing capsules to reduce the hair fall. Have diets rich in protein and you will see improvement.

I hope this solves your query, if you have more doubts you can ask again in follow up question.

Thanks, Wish you a good health.
