Cholestyramine causing insomnia

I was finally prescribed cholestyramine for BAM and it worked wonders. My stools become normal with no undigested food. My energy levels increased. I was able to tolerate foods I thought I was intolerant to. However, during two weeks of use I slowly started developing insomnia which made me miserable. Did anyone experience this? I was taking 4g before lunch and dinner. Now I’m slowly titrating again starting from 1g. I still have sleep issues. I really want to make this work.
