I'm not the poster you're querying, but yes, I agree that dexamethasone causes insomnia, at least for the first night or two. I always feel pumped up on the steroid for 24-48 hours, and then it begins to wane. I also think it causes hiccups, as least for me.

ncteacher - Like you (and Ken20), I'm convinced Decadron (dexamethasone) causes insomnia following Gem/Abrax infusions. After my last infusion one week ago I slept only 2 hours that night. Sleeplessness happens every time. No hiccups here however.
