Question:
Karen: I’ve been there and done that, although I don’t have a thyroid condition. My diagnoses are depression, SAD, narcolepsy, sleep apnea, PTSD, and migraine syndrome. In short, my entire brain chemistry is shot, and it has been a total nightmare trying to find the right combination and dosage of medications. My memory loss was frightening, and I have actually had episodes of amnesia (it ain’t like they portray it on the soaps)and my short term memory and concentration was at a point where I had to carry a note pad with me when I went from living room to kitchen so I wouldn’t forget what I went in there for. I’m doing much better at present, although I still have bad days. Hang in there, the sleep study can provide a treasure trove of information. Good luck – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Newsgroups: alt.support.depression I was just wondering if anyone out there has had similar experiences to mine and if so how you are being treated. I have hypothyroidism, depression and insomnia. I have had many ups and downs after being diagnosed about 5 years ago. I have been on Serzone, Paxil, Zoloft, Effexor,Imiprimine, Mannerix etc. I am currently on Trazadone. Most of these ADs gave me insomina. I now take, 6 grams of Tryptophan, 1.5 mg of Melatonin and 7.5 mg of Rhovane. I am still not sleeping well. I have been on disablility for about 10 weeks due to extreme fatigue. I am going to a sleep institute for a study this week. I have very poor concentration and memory. I noticed one posting from someone on Trazadone with memory loss. Anyone else. Any suggestions for increased energy, concentration or sleep? Thanks, Karen
