<unk>  is used as a pill to treat major depressive disorder, anxiety disorders, and chronic hives, and for short-term help with trouble remaining asleep after going to bed (a form of insomnia). As a cream it is used for short-term treatment of itchiness due to atopic dermatitis or lichen simplex chronicus. In 2016 the American College of Physicians advised that insomnia be treated first by treating comorbid conditions, then with cognitive behavioral therapy and behavioral changes, and then with drugs;<unk>  was among those recommended for short-term help maintaining sleep, on the basis of weak evidence. The 2017 American Academy of Sleep Medicine recommendations focused on treatment with drugs were similar. A 2015 AHRQ review of treatments for insomnia had similar findings. A 2010 review found that topical<unk>  is useful to treat itchiness. A 2010 review of treatments for chronic hives found that<unk>  had been superseded by better drugs but was still sometimes useful as a second-line treatment. Doses of<unk>  used for sleep range from 3 to 6 mg but up to 25 to 50 mg.
