I have unlimited in-hospital benefit so sleep studies dont cost me a thing. do i go for regular sleep studies to see if eveything is w...

Re: depression meds for my fatigue
Junaid, hang in there. It is my personal experience that the right anti-depressant will help sleep. I've been on a number of different ones in the last 20 or so years, and I could always pretty much tell when I needed an adjustment by the way I was sleeping. I also have had panic/anxiety attacks an...

Re: depression meds for my fatigue
Thank you for your response GG. Im at that point where Im willing to try anything. If citalopram doesnt work or gives me sleep trouble, Im definitely going to try something else. Have you considered taking a milder dose of something else? It is difficult to have to deal with anxiety and sleep proble...

depression meds for my fatigue
still tired after 9 months on cpap battling with panic/anxiety attacks (not sure if theres a difference) so i figured my fatigue must be related to my anxiety attacks. it is well documented that there is a connection between depressions and fatigue, lack of energy and poor quality sleep so I'm start...

Re: ive taken all of the advice....
Hi Rusty my endo says my testoterone is low but she expects it to be because it is being suppresed by the high prolation hormone. my neurosurgeon also told me that the tumor cannot be removed? from what ou have said, it seems you disagree. i have a macroprolactinoma (a big one-typical for males). Im...

Re: ive taken all of the advice....
In a prior thread you mentioned using cabergoline for your limb movements. Since it is also used for treating prolactin levels, I wasn't sure if you are using it for both, and on a low dose or what.
