From reading the Supplement Facts, it doesn't seem that anything in Able Eyes could cause insomnia or anxiety. It just may be that you have insomnia and anxiety because of your condition. You can address the insomnia and anxiety with either medications or specific supplements. There's not enough fish oil in that supplement to cause insomnia. Balancing your calcium and magnesium levels can go a long way to helping improve your insomnia. I use magnesium citrate and chelated calcium (like calcium citrate) taken at bedtime only. It is important to balance the two. For example, I take a 1:1 ratio of calcium:magnesium, that is 500mg of magnesium citrate with 500mg of chelated calcium at bedtime only. I don't know your situation, but if that doesn't work, there are other herbs that help with sleep besides Valerian, and of course, some medications, but even with the meds, you might have to try more than one until you find one that works. I like using natural methods first before going to meds, but sleep meds can help if you can't sleep at all.
