I'm pwaysh and have been diagnosed with IBS, migraines, borderline low thyroid, depression, and chronic insomnia with rebound daytime sleepiness. I worked overnight shifts for 5 years but got out about 2 years ago. The primary medications I'm on (now) are thyroid supplement,zoloft,ambien...just to name a few. Over the last 5 years of therapy I have tried numerous medications with little help and usually ended up treating side effects of all the medications instead of treating the real problem. So what is the real problem? I do not feel I am depressed. I end up on SSRI's to alleviate symptoms of IBS. The ambien does allow for a few hours of sleep but then I am chronically fatigued during daytime and have to (obtain) stimulants just to get through the day (i.e. just to reach a normal functioning level). Help-any suggestions???
