Well.... I know from past experience, and experience/errors with my family members, it's best with him if I do the research and make suggestions:)
My straight out list of meds was a joke! I'm not gonna walk in and demand that, but it's also not too far off.
OK, so personally, the depression is MY main concern. I'd like to suggest EMSAM, but saying either that I read about it in my texts, heard it mentioned in class and looked up the prescribed info, or came across it in a journal while writing a paper. All, actually are true.
His main concern, when I tell him the insomnia has not improved will be to treat that. I don't reallly care what he does. I just want him to do something other than what we're doing know.
The Xanax for anxiety is fine. We don't need to touch it.
I'd like to mention that I've experience this type of "leaden paralysis" depression before, when I was a freshman. I slept up to 18 hours a day, it was never refreshing, and I always felt terrible. It's the type of thing I've felt for the past 3 weeks. I worry becuase it lasted almost a year before! I took Provigil ((which helps with the fatigue, but doesn't cause axiety, depressiom, or insomnia, briefly, for 1 month, to relieve the fatigue (not dianosed w/depression!)), but then transferred college and had no doctor.
I'm really only asking about one new addition. I'm telling him of one that's helped partly reduce symptoms in the past, and leaving the rest up to him.
