Antihistamines make my insomnia worse. They trigger my restless leg syndrome like nobody's business.

Stimulants (prescribed) help me sleep, they shut my brain up.

Restless Leg Syndrome is absolute hell. Combined with insomnia it's nearly killed me a few times. I think a lot of people (including many doctors I've dealt with) underestimate it due to it's rather benign sounding name.
