This kinda has to do with insomnia..

Well I'm.. almost 16. I've been on sleeping medication that was meant to help with sleeping and moods. My doctor just switched me to a higher dosage of antidepressants, and a sleeping medication that is meant just for sleep. The problem is, it makes me feel like I have the worst flu I've ever had. I'm going to talk to my doctor about trying something else, but of course I have to wait for my mom to make an appointment, and I'm concerned about a few things.:

- When I'm alone at night, or alone in general, I get really paranoid.
- I'm pretty sure I've started to hear things that aren't there.
- I have bad anxiety to go along with it.
- Also, sometimes it's like I get.. stuck. I feel like I need to be doing something (and get that panicky feeling), but I'll be extremely bored of everything and have nothing to do. It's to the point where if I'm bored enough I feel like killing myself because everything is so blah. And it's like nothing ever matters, and continuing to constantly feel like $#%^ for months would never seem worth it. And I hate it because it isn't anyone's job to entertain me, and my life shouldn't have to be extremely exciting all the time. I can't just be content, I either feel like $#%^, or feel wonderful. Anything in between feels pointless.

you are too young to be taking drugs for depression and sleeping,

look into natural alternative options,

things that help are natural foods, avoid junk foods,

take some b complex with your breakfast and a glass of water, it will help your state of mind, also take vitamin c everyday,

what type of sleep difficulties are you having, what is the name of the drug you were prescribed for sleeping?

the drugs that you are taking are creating the anxiety,

that is why you need to look into natural remedies.

5htp:
I was on Seroquel. I was in the hospital for 6 days, and it was their favorite to use.. I'll have to be really worn out to fall asleep and they wanted you to be asleep by 10:30 every night I was there, so they put me on it. It was also supposed to help with extreme mood issues, because I had some of that. When I talked to my doctor about it, he said it usually doesn't work for people..

My problem isn't just sleeping though, but I don't know if I've even been better on meds or without them. They don't seem to be helping too much, but I'm the only one who thinks drugs may be a bad idea, so I've been giving it a try. I don't know what to do.

Demographics
It is important that certain age groups, especially those with certain conditions, avoid Seroquel. The elderly, particularly those with memory problems and symptoms of dementia, should not take Seroquel, because it can cause degenerative effects in health after a certain age, when the immune system is weaker. In addition, patients under the age of 18 are not prescribed Seroquel, because of the potential risk of suicide in those with less experience with depressive symptoms.

your depression can be treated with regular exercise and good nutrition,

get on an exercise program with a sport that you like,

do it everyday,

I had depression a while back and started riding my bike everyday,

I eat oatmeal with a banana for breakfast and in the afternoon,

at lunch i eat fish or organic meat, chicken, with veggies,

i take plenty of vitamin c with orange juice and some mineral water,

i have improved,

for sleep i go to the steam room everyday and at night i drink some linden flowers tea with some magnesium (magnesium citrate 100mg.), i also take some taurine (an amino acid, 500mg.),

it helps me fall asleep and I sleep 4 to 5 hours,

if i wake up i drink a little bit more tea and fall asleep again,

the steam room leaves me worn out,

so that i don´t have any option but to fall asleep.

It’s important that you should know what really causing your insomnia. Stress may be one factor that leads you to this situation. We know that medications can be helpful at some point, but too much of taking it can cause us a negative effect. When I am stressed I always encounter physical and emotional discomforts like body aches, can’t sleep well and being anxious. I keep on worrying how I can manage my stress since I don’t have any free time to do the relaxation and my condition just got worse when I rely too much on medication. When Paul (YM practitioner) had a correction of my energy imbalances and clear my blockages my symptoms were alleviated in just 10 minutes without doing anything. Now, even if I am stressed the whole day I can still sleep for the whole night without interruption of having pain and discomforts.
