I’ve been feeling depressed since the beginning of summer 2008 and it’s been getting worse recently and I’ve noticed I’m recalling my dreams more often. I think when my depression was really bad a few months ago I recalled several of my dreams, also.

Do you know or have you heard anything about depression and dreams being related?

What other problems could be mistaken for sleep apnea?




I have many symptoms of sleep apnea but my sleep study shows that it is not an issue. I am tired all the time, no energy or motivation. Depression and anxiety are a major problem. I wake up many times a night feeling like I cannot catch my breath, like my chest is very heavy and not getting enough air/oxygen. What other conditions could cause these symptoms?

My neurologist just prescribed me melatonin supplements for sleep and anxiety headaches. I read that melatonin supplements can lead to depression and was wondering if it’s acceptable to use 5 htp instead.

How do you use “seroquel” as a sleep aid?




My doctor prescribed seroquel to help me get to sleep at night. All of the research I’ve done on the drug indicates that it’s used to treat depression and other disorders. I’ve been taking one pill a night for the last three nights and it’s not helping me sleep. The doctor said to give it time. . .

I have been depressed every day for the last five years. I have tried medicine and therapy, sontinued working etc… but no matter what I do I am not getting any better. I have been depressed for years, not just your normal passing depression… along with other symptoms: insomnia, lack of appetite, gruesome nightmares(every night!), and too much more to list here. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

My boyfriend has (with a little push) managed to seek help for his depression, which he has suffered from for almost two years. I am thrilled that he has made this step, but I don’t want to do anything to mess things up for him.

The doctors have put him on antidepressants and sleeping pills, but I’m afraid I don’t know which ones.

How can I support him through the dodgy side effects and help the medication help him? What should I be doing, what should I not be doing?

So I just finished my series or rabies shots last Thursday.. but now I feel kinda different. Some of the symptoms such as loss of appetite, fatigue, headache, fever, pain (sometimes itching) or numbness at the site of exposure, insomnia, and depression are not present but I do feel kinda malaise/lethargic. I’ve been like this for the past two days. Help would be appreciated.

I do not sleep at night (frequent awakenings, cannot fall or stay asleep) more than 1-2 hours. I was told that I have depression, SAD, cirrcadin sleep disorder, eating disorder and excessive daytime sleepiness. Two polysomnograms confirmed the sleepiness. After much research, I truly believe I have some type of narcolepsy with both primary and secondary symptoms i.e. fall asleep during classes, have to sleep in my car between classes, hallucinations, memory loss and a close relative who does have it. Any ideas as to what or where I should go to be effectively diagnosed with anything at this point in time.

Are you now back to normal? I have been suffering from clonazepam withdrawal for 7 weeks now. The symptoms just won’t go away (hypertension, inner tremor, tingling in limbs, anxiety, depression, insomnia, etc.) I just want to know if there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Is Insomnia a symptom of depression?




If I haven’t slept properly in over a month and the doctor prescibed me pills for insomnia. Will he then treat me for depression after the insomnia is under control. He thinks I may have depression, but he hasn’t done anything about that yet, will he once I’m able to sleep?

What could be causing all of these symptoms?




I have frequent hot flashes, insomnia, difficulty remembering things, tendinitis in my ankle, headaches in the back of my head frequently, cold hands and feet sometimes, depression, and anxiety. I have been tested for diabetes and thyroid conditions. What else could cause all of these symptoms, by the way I am a 31 year old female.
