It could be that your body is adjusting to your new medication regimen. Talk to your doctor about it. Maybe the sleep problem will resolve in time. I take my fish and borage oils early in the day, first the fish oil in the morning with my morning meds, and then an hour or two later borage oil. Also, I take an antipsychotic so that might play a big part in how well you sleep. At bedtime, I take a combination of vitamins to help me with sleep.
500mg Niacin
300IU of natural vitamin E
50mg of P5P (B6)
1/4 of a 3mg melatonin tablet
300mg of calciumFor me, I have to at least take these five vitamins at bedtime to help me sleep, but I've also added a broad-based amino acid complex taken at bedtime, and this does help further with my sleep. I'm not saying an amino acid complex is absolutely necessary, but for some odd reason it tends to help me with sleep, but I guess you could say that about a lot of supplements out there on the market.
