Accepted Answer

Likely side effects: If there have been no other major changes for you and no other symptoms, the most likely cause is the dose increases of medication. It may go away with time at the same doses or a more gradual increase could prevent the issue. Sometimes going with one at a time instead of both avoids this and you never need the other change at all. Discuss with your doctor for further assistance. Good luck!

Many possibilities: Medical conditions, emotional or stress problems, life-style schedules, pregnancy or menopause, etc. Are possible. Even good things like exercise (too late in the day) can do it. Too large a meal too late can, and on and on. Troubling emotional associations from the past about bedtime too. Maybe a therapist can help you untangle it so you can sleep well.

Accepted Answer

Restlessness?: It depends on what is causing you to be restless. I can think of lots of possibilities. It could be physical, mental or even a combination. It could be from a thyroid problem, anxiety, low blood sugar-to name just a few. It matters how long it has been present. I would suggest starting with an evaluation from your local medical doctor and to go from there. Good luck.
