can't sleep

[mexijann]

I can't sleep at all I'm sleepy but I seem to stay awake and alert at all times and toss and turn in bed a lot

I am pregnant and I am taking the antibiotics to treat my uti I thought that you get sleepy more if your pregnant but it's the complete opposite for me is there anything I can take so I would be able to sleep normally

Dear mexijann:

I am sorry that you are having problem sleeping despite being "sleepy".

From your list of medications, none of them can cause you to have problem sleeping. Cephalexin is an antibiotics, and it should be used only to treat infection and not be taken regularly as a chronic medication.  

I am unclear if you are taking prenatal vitamin because you are pregnant or trying to get pregnant. Pregnancy and stress may cause your sleeping problem. It is important for you to consult your physician to see if there are any other underlying medical conditions, especially if you are pregnant.

Good luck!
