Hi. I've been to several doctors and no one really knows why is this happening to me. For the last 2 years I haven't been able to rest. I mean, I can sleep but I always wake up feeling unrested, with headache and a flu-like feeling.
I can't be functional this way and it's very frustrating.

My Dr has put me on Antidepressants since he thinks it may be related with Anxiety but it hasn't helped at all. In fact I think it's making things worse.

I asked my Dr about Sleep Apnea but he told me that due to the size and morphology of my throat that is out of the question.

My Dr treats me as if I were a bit crazy telling me things like "That is just the way you are, you must not be so hard on yourself" and that kind of stuff. What the hell, I just want to be relatively functional again.

I just want to mention that I don't take tranquilizers (benzodiazepines). I did in the past but I reached tolerance and dependence so I withdrawn from them and it's been 18 months since my last dose of lorazepam.

I don't know if this is the right place to ask for advice but again, I've got nothing to lose really.

I've tried a lot of Natural things like Melatonin, Valerian, and antihistamines like Doxylamine. Non of them did a thing for my problem, they just make the hangover worse. I have also tried things like Doxepin, Mirtazapine and the like with no success.

Thank you for your time


PS: I'm an unemployed man. 29 yo, 74kg, good health. I'm now on holidays since I'm studying during the year (my degree didn't get me any job so I'm studying another field) My routine right now is quite limited to what I can do: Wake up early in the morning, I surf the web, read and watch TV. I go out to visit my gf during the evening or night.

I currently don't have any hobbies since my lack of energy doesn't allow me to have any. I don't feel like doing anything anyway. My foggy mind can't really handle or enjoy anything

Thank you so much
