Hello,
Following a stroke some of the medications have to be taken life long. Have a regular follow up with your physician and he will advice which one's to continue at each visit. Your medication includes beta blockers which can be associated with sleep disturbances in some patients. You can ask your physician to change over (if possible) to an alternative. Sleep medication also can be similarly changed or dose adjusted. You need to understand that medications are must in your case.
Good luck.
