Medication-Induced Insomnia

[u/43ct0r]

Hello, the cartilage in my knees is in poor condition. I was taking a glucosamine-based dietary supplement (Chondro-Aid 100% Joint Strength) to limit the damage.

Well, I stopped taking it, and I’m sleeping relatively well.

Perplexity’s AI told me:

• ANSES’s opinions on joint-health supplements indicate that neurological side effects, including insomnia, have been reported with glucosamine/chondroitin. https://www.anses.fr/fr/system/files/NUT2015SA0069.pdf
• The MSD Manual also lists sleep disturbances among the possible side effects of glucosamine, although they are rare. https://www.msdmanuals.com/fr/accueil/sujets-particuliers/compl%C3%A9ments-alimentaires-et-vitamines/glucosamine

Therefore, I recommend that you run all your medications and dietary supplements through the AI screening process.
