I am very depressed and hoping to find a doctor who will order me something to wake me up in the daytime.

I never had such severe sleepiness as this before. I don't know what started all this, as I had been doing rather well, until not too long ago. One thing thst is new is my tinnitus in my keft ear got much worse a few weeks ago. I say "much worse," but I don't consider it horrible the way some sufferers describe. it. I even lose cosciousness of it for good stretches of time - like, if I'm interested in something on TV. First thing in the morning it seems worse - my head is just swimming in this monotone.

I want someone to understand that this is not easy to be listening to constantly whenever I am in bed. At times I get upset, thinking I can never escape this. I try not to even let my mind go there, but the constant tone in my ear, with the ridiculous sleepiness, with the increasing depression and escalating anxiety has me thinking that I could see why people with this get driven to suicide. I have a lot piling up, and I need to lighten this weight a little for it to be manageable.
