Pred can really turn up the energy... some people can get very hyper from it. I wouldn't use alcohol however, because of risk to the stomach.

I'd try upping the Melatonin to 3 mg at night. I know the studies show 1mg or less works, but really it doesn't for me. I use 3mg.

You should be getting your blood sugar checked also at those doses periodically since Pred can raise blood sugar.
