I have suffered from depression for a number of years and last year was put on 300mg of Trazadone to help me sleep as well. I was fine on this for a while and then it stopped working helping me to get to sleep. I was then given Zopicole (horrible taste in your mouth stuff!) This worked for a while.

I was in work on Monday and I hadnt felt right for a few days, tired, headache and just now myself. I woke up at 3.30am on Monday AM not being able to breath. I had never felt like this before amd it soon passed and i drove to work feeling very spaced out and not with it. I then broke down at work, went into the sick room were I was calm enough to go back out and tell them I needed to go home. The whole day on Monday I think I suffered from Anxiety attack, I went to the doc who gave me 2mg Diazepan and was told to take 6mg - I took 8mg by 11pm as I was exhausted and needed to rest. It started adgain, I went to out of hours who gace me a further 10mg. I felt a bit whoozy. I went to sleep with 18mg of Diazepam and 300mg of Trazadone at I woke up one hour and 40 mninutes later feeling wide awake and coulndt breath again. I went back to the Docs on Tuesday who gave me something to take to help me sleep which it did - I got 8 hours last night. I then thought I would try and go for a walk - I could not get passed the gate. I was dizzy, couldnt breath. I didnt feel any kind of panic tho - I just cannot breath. When I sit normally, I can but any kind of movement AT ALL. I cannot breath, my hands tingle and I get a funny feeling in my nose. It is now Wednesday and I have been practially bed ridden since Monday.

Should I go back to the docs? Can they give me anything else? They seem very reluctnant.

I really need some help as soon you can please. I would really appreciate it more than you know

Hi Sadsaz,

I think you are having some problems with the medication that they are giving you. I think that you should go back to the doctor and tell him what you wrote here. Trying to fall asleep with is the best thing and I have problems with sleeping but I try to work out and make my self very tired at the end of the day. I think the best thing to do is to see if you are falling asleep and your tongue is falling back and you are waking up becouse of this.

Take care x
Nick
