Avatar f tn I take 12 mg of Klonopin, 40mg of Paxil and 150 mg of Trazadone, all related to some kind of depression, panic disorder and depression. I don't really think too much about them, I just take them. I've been reading other posts, and I swear, it sounds like way too much.
Avatar m tn Sleep Deprivation, Depression and stress are the things of which one of them can be responsible for My Memory Loss and Memory Problems. Just want to know if it caused by Neuron cell breakdown or something else for the mentioned reasons.
Avatar f tn I've been feeling like I'm getting to much sleep too I don't get to sleep 12 hrs bc I have an almost 2 yr old but I feel like i could very easily. This is my fourth baby and I've always felt so tired with each pregnancy but this time is the worst! I have an appt. Tuesday and I'm going to have the doc see if my iron levels are low or what else could be causing my extreme tiredness. I'm tired of being tired lol.
Avatar m tn And sometimes when you have inadequate sleep, it could cause sleep debt and make you to sleep soundly. However, if it persists consult your doctor to rule out sleep disorders. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Avatar f tn make yourself get out of bed. Set that alarm, go to bed and tell yourself you will get up at that time. Sleeping too much lends toward worse depression. Also, make yourself get out there and do things. Try to hang around friends. Listen to happy music. Watch films that make you happy or laugh. You're not going to feel like doing it. Trust me, I know. It's hard as heck to go against what depression naturally lends toward you doing, but it's for the best. Good luck!
Avatar m tn It seems that I have difficulty concentrating, focusing, thinking when I get too much sleep. For me too much sleep seems to be more than 6 hours sleep. However, if I don't get 7 or 8 hours of sleep then I am tired. If I get 8 hours of sleep then I am not tired, but then I have brain fog, like I'm half awake. I saw a sleep doctor and he didn't think that I had a sleep related problem. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Avatar m tn Hello, Causes of excessive sleepiness are sleep-wake cycle disorder like in night shifts, sleep apnea and other sleep-related breathing disorders, psychiatric disorders like depression and schizophrenia,diabetes,obesity,restless leg syndrome,use of drugs or alcohol and narcolepsy(Abnormal sleep disorder leading to excessive daytime drowsiness). You should consult a sleep specialist and get all these causes ruled out.
Avatar n tn well it seem like you have gotten out of your depression and then rolled into another persons. Your too young for so much stress...you need to express to your boyfriend that your worried about him and you went through a lot of depression yourself and you can only control yours right now and that his depression is making you depressed all over again...and you will be there for him but he has to be on the same track as you...your too young for all that depression...
Avatar f tn I am a 59 yr old female who takes meds for ADD & depression. I sleep between 14/16 hrs at a time. Sometimes I stay awake for up to 28 hrs before I can sleep. Any idea what this could be. I have talked to the drs about this. They have suggested a sleep study.
Avatar f tn I guess the reason why the sleep medicines do not work for you is some other disorder which causes sleep disturbance. One such disorder is Depression. The sleep architecture can become really bad in a depressed person. This is also true for the opposite end of the spectrum. And these disorders do not allow a person to be at peace. There are some or the other thoughts going on constantly in the mind, which prevent you from falling asleep.
Avatar n tn July 26, Dr. Mark, I do appreciate your answer to my previous question about too much levothyroxine. My next question is this, if my dosage of levothyroxine went straight from 50mgc to 150mcg and it started the heart pounding and it hasn't completely stopped in two years and my levothyroxine has now slowly been lowered back to 50mcg, and the problem still exist, what could cause that? Also when my doctor tried to raise it to 75mcg, it started the heart pounding right away.

Avatar n tn I am posting this for a friend - she's scared to ask. She is young and having fun. Her family is kind of messed up and her mom told me her dad’s parents drank a lot and that his sister had manic depression. She's been depressed but now people say she's “having too much fun.” It makes her kind of mad. I've seen antidepressants help people and think she should take one. I know she should see a doctor about this. What should I tell her? Could you give me some advice?
Avatar f tn I am thinking having had seizures for so long with the many meds through out my life...main cause for depression/memory loss. Last 6 months, sleep 2-3 hours max. Have been changed to Keppra from Tegretol 2 months ago, memory is extremely limited (due to meds also). Is my life being slowly being extinguished as I breathe? I am afraid. I enjoy the outdoors, animals, working with my hands,plants,gardening,walking,warm weather.
