I have somewhat recently developed insomnia. I have not changed any meds. Any suggestions or advice on how to combat the insomnia?

Hi Cora! I get insomnia now and again but never did connect it with epilepsy. Maybe some of our medications are the culprit?

I'm also experiencing insomnia thought it was due to my stress at work. I was prescribed Dormonoct 2mg but doesn't really help I find Normison 20mg helps me to sleep
