thyroid med keeping me wide awake

[Guest guest]

Since my last TSH was 150! (and my doc freaked out,) I started taking my thyroid meds again. The reason I had slacked off is because they always give me hyper symptoms no matter how small the dose. So I've been on a mere 30mg of armour for 3 days and sure enough last night woke up at 12:30 a.m. and was up until 4:30 a.m. What to do? I'm going to be more tired from a lack of sleep than a lack of thyroid hormone. The heart palps and hoarseness haven't even started yet, but that's next. The synthetic hormones are even worse than the natural Armour. So anybody got any good suggestions on how to get to sleep without side effects? Melatonin didn't work, unfortunately, and I really don't want to take anything too intense or will stress my liver or become addictive, etc. Anyone use Valerian or any other natural kind of sleep remedies? penny
