clarithromycin and insomnia

[wired]

Hi,

I started triple therapy yesterday and was up most of the night, completely wired and had night sweats.

Did anyone have this side effect and did it end up going away at some point during treatment? I'm not sure i can take this for 13 days if I'm going to get any sleep.

Thanks!

Please talk to your doctor about it. If possible, please finish the course of antibiotics. Otherwise, you are just going to make the bacteria stronger and you'll need even stronger antibiotics with stronger side effects.

I have pretty regular insomnia. For me going to sleep has been a nightly battle. I hate not having a sleep schedule, and I'm pretty sure I've watched an episode of just about every show on late night tv this point.
For me, the worst part is worrying about the health concerns attributed to it, as well as the side effects of sleep medication. I didn't like the idea of forcing sleep by drowning myself in sleeping pills, so I ended lying awake in bed every night.
I did a little internet research looking for alternatives, and I found an article interviewing Insomnia Specialist Dr. Gregg Jacobs. He advocates for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or (CBT). He conducted research which showed that it was very effective in the majority of his patients. I figured I had nothing to loose so I tried few things such as limiting my bed only for sleep and I found that it helped.
Here's the article

It helped, but I still found that I still couldn't sleep consistently. I looked around and discovered that he had a 5-week sleeping CBT therapy program online. I completed it worked for me! The program gave me tips and guidelines which helped me. I felt that having a program to keep me in line helped me stay consistent. This helped me, and I am sleeping regularly.
I would highly recommend it.
