I've had the exact oppossite reaction from fish oil. My insomnia is gone. After 8 weeks of taking 2000mg/day I am sleeping better than I have in years.
I quit drinking 5 years ago and since then I had been suffering from rather severe insomnia. And when I did sleep it was poorly- waking every hour or so- never deeply.
I started taking Wellbutrin shortly after I stopped drinking on a doctor's recommendation and it did help me with the mild depressive disorder I had been diagnosed with but I also think it contributed to my bouts of insomnia and overall poor sleeping habits.
But the fish oil seems to have evened me out and I am sleeping like a baby. I am now getting consistent REM sleep- 6 to 8 hours of uninterrupted deep sleep- every night.
I think the fish oil has smooted out the rough edges of the Wellbutrin.
