HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is just insomnia then it would be better to come out of this condition and for that no need to have any medicine because this would be fine if you try some exercise, relaxation therapy, yoga, meditation, some out of stress and depression, for the thyroid you need to get second opinion form another endocrinologist, hope this information helps, take care.
