Just curious if the medication was a benzo or z-drug (e.g. Ambien). If so, did you take it nightly during your 6-9 month cycles? Did the tolerance reset after a few months' break?
I've tried pretty much everything. Of course Melatonin and Benadryl don't work much. Klonopin and Ambien both work well, but I try not to use it more than 1x a week to avoid a tolerance.

The tolerance would reset after a few months break, but it would always get back to the point where it was ineffective. I've also never noticed melatonin to have any effect, even when taken correctly.
