Let your doctor know: if you stop any medication, your PCP should know about it, even if it's just a cholesterol medication. Your insomnia, or inability to sleep well may or may not be a result of stopping your medications. Other factors may be at play. Your energy level may be wired as many cholesterol lowering drugs affect Co Q 10 levels, which can make you feel more energetic now, and feel like sleeping less.
