Insomnia. What seems to help?

Are you on any prescription meds and, if so, were you able to get answers on whether CBD/CBN affect the meds in any way? I take a thyroid supplement and Trazodone for sleep and read these drugs might be affected. I have some CBD/CBN tincture for sleep that I'm reluctant to start taking because of this. Pharmacists haven't been able to help answer my questions.

i'm hypomanic on the bipolar spectrum so sleep has always been an issue (i'm 76) and have always been on 1 or 2 meds nightly to sleep. i got covid 19 in dec. 2020 and for 2+ yr. i've been a post-covid long hauler and participate on the facebook group survivors corps which has the most information about any health issue post-covid and many long haulers suffer insomnia. i've been on thyroid meds for 30+ yr. and thru the f/b group i've read a lot about many people using cbc or the combination of cbc/cbd/cbn for insomnia and body inflammation. I have a host of other issues from the virus tho sleep has been the biggest issue. my decision was to follow what the long haulers are doing for symptom relief as i saw 3 specialists early on who offered 0 info. i don't believe cbd will hurt you even if on other meds, esp. if you don't take any cbd that has thc which might activate you rather than sedate. i take a gummy about 30 min. before i take the other 3rx meds and maybe the cbd has helped or maybe most of the insomnia has run its course as i now get 8 hr. almost nightly and still nap throughout the day. my hubby takes the gummies occasionally; sometimes he'll take melatonin (makes me too groggy) and he's also on thyroid meds.
