Keep a sleep log.: You should express your concerns to your treating doctor. You should also keep a sleep log so you will be able to track the way the medication is influencing your sleep. In addition you may find that taking the medication in the morning as opposed to the evening changes the degree to which the medication impacts your sleep. A log will help you see if it is the medication causing sleeplessness.
