I had a mini stroke 9 months ago and was put on plavix. since then I find it impossible to sleep unless I take a sleeping aid. i wonder if the Plavix could be the cause. I am not taking any other medicines that cause sleep disturbance.
Can taking Plavix interfere with sleeping?

Yes it could interfere with sleep, I take Plavix 75mg since the last 4 years & along with it a sleeping pill, besides 8 other pills for different ailments.
Take care, best wishes!
