OK, so I've got to update my doctor (family practioner, DO) on how I'm doing... not so well with the insomnia, anxiety, and depression. Actually, very badly.
My Lunesta, which I once loved has progressively stopped helping since I moved 2 months ago. I sleep 3 hours a night at best. I'm very stressed and have a full day of school and work, so this is making life very difficult, physically, emotionally and academically. I've used Ambien CR before and expericed nightmares, hallucinations, and sleepwalking. Yes, I believe some of the crazy stories on TV. So, I wonder what the next approach will be. I NEED sleep! Deperately, it's not helping my already fragile emotional state. I liked Lunesta because I never felt "drugged" yet it was strong enough to work fully every night for the entire night. What are some other good options?
My Xanax isn't fully covering the anxiety. I take .25 mg 3 times a day. I'd really like to increase and hope he's OK with that.
The depression is not good... at all. I'm really unhappy, negative, tearful hopeless, don't care about life. I don't want to mention this. I'd really like to try an antidepressant (no SSRI/SNRI!). I think I need one (but what?). I just am praying and can find a few meds that can get me back on track and in a positive frame of mind. It's gonna be a rough existence to continue with this way a feel right now.
