@65742
I haven't posted for awhile. I fell & broke my arm in Aug. just got my remove able cast off a couple weeks ago. I'm suffering with depression I guess I'm on Effexor, bupropion & take anitriplene at night to sleep. Also take muscle relaxer & .5 kola noon at night. I don't want to do any thing. I thought I had a bug I've felt so bad. I just want to sleep all the time. I now think it might be depression . Has anyone else felt this way ?

Is the muscle relaxer for your healing arm? I use MediGuard.com to track my meds and read the side effects and interactions. It would tell you if your meds are a possible reason for your sleepiness. I also take Bupropion, along with a list of other meds. Another thing to consider is a sleep study, which can be done either at a sleep center or at home. I have sleep apnea, and use a CPAP machine, and when I started using it, I quickly went from always being drowsy to awake and alert. Your doctor should have some recommendations. Good luck.
@65742 I know when I do not feel well I can get depressed it is because of the pain not feeling well or just able to do what I want to do at the time. Just know that you have a place to vent and get as much as support as we can give you. Hang in there and keep in contact
Breaking an arm sure would depress me, ouch!!!
I lowered and then stopped my valium because
it would make me fall asleep without getting quality rest / rem.
I replaced the valium with more exercise, stretching and Qigong.
You're not alone feeling that way.

Hello again @65742 Sorry to hear about your arm! OUCH!
I would certainly discuss, as soon as possible, your feelings, etc. with your MD. Depression can be a tough one.
Peace and strength!
