Thanks for writing back.
Lack of sleep can be attributed to the deficiency of estrogen in blood due to withdrawal of premarin. The alpha-Linolenic acid supplements will help.
You can ask for the same in nearby pharmacies or you can buy online too. This does not need a doctor prescription and is an OTC.
