While insomnia is not an officially listed side effect of Mounjaro (tirzepatide) in clinical trials, anecdotal reports from users suggest a complex and varied relationship between the medication and sleep. The impact of Mounjaro, an injectable GLP-1/GIP receptor agonist, on rest can range from temporary disturbances to significant improvements, especially for those with sleep apnea.

Clinical studies show that Lexapro can cause both insomnia (in 9-14% of users) and drowsiness/fatigue (in 5-13% of users), with individual responses varying significantly. This means that while some people feel tired, others may feel more awake, and understanding your personal reaction is key to managing this common side effect.

Despite its common off-label use as a sedative for insomnia, a significant percentage of people experience paradoxical or disruptive sleep issues with amitriptyline. While it often makes individuals feel sleepy and helps with initial sleep onset, the medication profoundly alters the fundamental architecture of sleep, affecting both quality and daytime function.

Melatonin use among adults has increased fivefold in the last two decades. While widely available, taking a high dose like 10mg of melatonin significantly increases the risk of feeling groggy, foggy, and experiencing daytime sleepiness the following day, a phenomenon commonly called a 'melatonin hangover'.

According to clinical studies, between 11% and 20% of people taking the antidepressant Wellbutrin may experience insomnia, especially when first starting treatment. Knowing when to take Wellbutrin to avoid insomnia can significantly improve sleep quality and overall adjustment to the medication.

While lisinopril is a highly effective medication for managing high blood pressure, research indicates that some patients experience sleep-related side effects. A primary culprit is the persistent, dry cough associated with ACE inhibitors, which can significantly disrupt nighttime rest.
