I had insomnia for about six weeks after starting Lithium. I took 25mg of Seroquel to help me stay asleep. After the six weeks, I tapered off Seroquel and was able to sleep without it.

Sounds like you're dealing with quite a bit of anxiety. Try to go for a walk, watch tv, or do other things to distract yourself and unwind before you try to sleep.
