Yeah, it's a tough situation of medication.

Can you do with less activating meds during the day, so they won't last so far into the night? Keeping on the same one, but maybe adjusting when you take it, or take less of it, or even take less more often (but not as late in the day when you're heading home to begin to unwind) might work.

Have you tried herbals for night sleep? There are many that work the same as prescription, but don't have lingering effects. Ask your doctor what herbs the meds you take are derived from ... as all prescription meds had their start as plants at some point (or mineral etc.)



As you work through things in talk therapy, you may find you don't need so much anyway, and cutting back will be a common element in your life.
