Prednisone and SLEEP: If you are having insomnia from prednisone, then you should contact either your psychiatrist or the prescribing doctor and notify them that you are having insomnia from the prednisone. This is not going to respond to behavioral interventions. I usually wind up having to prescribe a low-dose antipsychotic such as seroquel (quetiapine) to control the organic insomnia that is caused by the prednisone.
