Thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately I have tried welbutrin on 3 separate occasions and each time I couldn't deal with side effects. Felt like I was in a fog or a dream state the entire time. I was on clonazepam at night for awhile but it left me with residual grogginess in the mornings and later came the nightmares and night sweats. I have been tested for food allergies amongst all other allergies- of course that's never definitive and can change. Some foods definitely trigger my IBS. My IBS is so bad at times that I have also been diagnosed with chronic vomiting and periodically take zofran to control it. I do work with animals and have dewormed myself on many occasions - just to be sure of no intestinal parasitism. I do see an acupuncturist and he seems to be my only savior at times. He significantly helps my IBS and migraines for a short time and I always leave his place feeling good and relaxed, but he doesn't seem to be able to alleviate the insomnia or the chronic daytime fatigue. I have to be very careful with supplements and homeopathy because of the chronic vomiting/IBS. I have tried a variety of natural remedies too but unfortunately I (literally) can't stomach them. Honestly I'm not trying to be difficult. I have just been struggling with these issues for so many years. I am open to trying just about anything at this point...so I gladly welcome any ideas. Thanks so much- pwaysh.
