i just wanted to come back and say I'm ok guys. They gave me medication that put me to sleep in the ER for like five hours, and then they wrote me a script for a new medication to try to fight my depression and help me sleep. I don't think I'm depressed but they want to try it anyway, so, doctor's orders.
sorry for making you guys worry
It's very odd to give medication in your situation. Since you can't sleep, suffer from anxiety, and also have MDD. A lot of the medications you are going to receive for one condition are directly contraindicated in the other symptoms you present.
I'd imagine the put you on some sort of benzo or barbituate. Any kind of serotonin retupake inhibitor. What did they perscribe you? You should really focus on trying to treat one of your conditions naturally to the best you can. Suffering from both anxiety and depression is a challenge from a clinical prospective. On one hand you need a downer, on the other you need an upper. Talk to your doctor about how best to manage your multiple conditions without the need to over medicate. These drugs are also tough on your liver. So, you might as well eliminate alcohol now and stop drinking.
Btw, stop drinking soda, coffee, energy drinks, and cut back on sugar. Also, if you do meth / cocaine/ and take any form of amphetimines even if it's for ADHD, you need to cut back / stop. Also stop posting on NEOGAF at night, this place can be stressful since people can piss you off.
Best of luck.
PS: You should also cut back on heavy meats and sodium. They cause hypertension which also makes it more difficult to sleep. It may also be the reason for your headaches. I just finished med school btw, so hope this helps and get well.
