> Jan, I feel so bad for you. I wish you could get a real good night's sleep. Whatever the case, it is absolutely not your fault. If there is a finger to be pointed at anyone, it is at the doctor. I think as much as they are paid, your doctor is at a point right now with you where he should be going the extra mile and really putting a serious effort into figuring out what is going on. Much more so than the average appointment.

>I agree completely. I am only now realizing that my own pdoc is not looking at the whole picture of me - that anxiety and depression and insomnia and digestive woes and hair falling out and sweating - these are all going on in the same person! What I've seen happen is one prescription given that causes a severe side effect and then another prescription to counteract that, but then that causes another set of unwanted symptoms....
...and that what is really troubling us, what is really beneath the anxiety and insomnia and whatever, is forgotten, it feels like. I am lucky because right now I am good and angry with my pdoc for getting me to the awful state I'm currently in. I am scared, but I am going to find a new doctor and start again. Just thinking about it makes me want to cry. But I'll ask for my records to be transferred and hopefully will be able to go over my history to whoever the unfortunate sod is who will take me on as a patient.
Sorry for injecting my own rant and stuff... it really does feel that you and I are having some tough times now with sleep.
