Suggest Treatment For Sleeping Issues After Increasing Dose Of Thyroid Medication

I m having trouble sleeping. My thyroid medication was increased from 75mcg to 100mcg recently. At about the same time,my gynecologist is weaning me off my Premarin o.625mg daily. Now I m taking 1 half tablet and alternating with a whole one. For about the past few nights, I ve been waking with a headache and anxiety and just can t get back to sleep. I ve had problems with insomnia and I take Seroquel 200 mg every night. I think my blood sugar is low right now and I m drinking juice. I m a pre-diabetic and I take 1000mg cinnamon daily.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is the case of insomnia then it may be due to medicines that going on because it is the multiple drugs you are taking, it is the first possibility can be thought, second it may be due to anxiety and depression, too many drugs and psychological factor makes the condition more worse as long as the insomnia is concern, I would advise you to discus this with your doctor, if any of medicine can be omitted hope this information helps.
