I take Pristiq and it makes it hard for me to sleep.

My doctor informed me that the pills are time released so that if I take them in the morning I'm getting most of the med around bed time. Taking the medicine at night before going to bed solved this issue. Counterintuitive but worth a try to be sure if your medicine is also time released.

what medication is it?  There are many meds that make it difficult to sleep - sometimes even those that make some people drowsy can make others hyper or have trouble sleeping.

sounds like you need to go to your doctor and see if he or she can prescribe you a different type of medicine that will help you sleep...good luck!
