What medications are known to cause insomnia so I can check to see if any of the ones I currently take are on the list.

Answered by Dr. Prof. Kunal Saha (3 hours later)

Brief Answer:
Amphetamines

Detailed Answer:
Amphetamines may cause insomnia. Rather than checking like this it would perhaps be more meaningful if you provide me with the list and I will tell you if they might be contributory.
