Insomnia : Try taking your meds in the am but the only problem of taking Dramamine nightly is tat your body will get used to it and it will stop working. Good Luck

No: There are better ways to treat insomnia. Nightly usage of Dramamine is not recommended

Not great: Your ADHD med and prozac should be taken in the am. If they still cause insomnia speak to your prescriber and get something different . 500mg of magnesium may help also routine consistent sleep schedule to begin

Best to discuss medication & possible sleep study with your Psychiatrist. If uncomfortable with your Dr. consult another for a second opinion. Have a physical exam by a Dr. to determine if you have a physical illness. Consult with a Clinical Psychologist for psychotherapy with ZOOM. Fears & anxiety could be heightened due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Stay safe & hopeful to elevate your immune system.
