I forgot to tell you - check into central sleep apnea - get a sleep study. I developed this autonomous nervous system problem (and this is one reason I am going to a neurologist), and found out it is very serious. Many people do not know they have it.

When you 'forget to breath' while you are sleeping, the brain lacks oxygen and it can cause cognitive problems (not to mention feeling like sh*t every day).

I had a sleep study done several years ago - was diagnosed with central sleep apnea - and my doctor - pdoc - thought nothing of it. I just found out it is very serious.

One does not usually know that have this - there is no snoring involved in this type of sleep apnea. This is where you wake up 100s or 1000s of times during the night without knowing it (as opposed to obstructive sleep apnea).

Could SSRIs cause autonomous nervous system damage? I wouldn't be surprised - no one knows for sure.

Check into this!!

Good luck
