Overall, such combination is not unsafe

Your sleeplessness could be because of multiple reason: diagnosis of cancer and its psychological impact, chemotherapy and its side effect related consequences etc

Sleeplessness is also a symptom of bipolar

I presume that with continuation of the drugs that you are prescribed by your doctor, over 1 month period, you should be O.K
