Wow. This website is a find. Someone once had suggested I look into potentially having ADD, since my primary complaint is "brain fog", not depression, although I have been taking "pediatric" levels of anti-depressants for years. The worst time for me is driving, so I don't go more than 15 minutes away from home. Obviously this is becoming limiting to me socially and professionally, so I need to do something. It is worse when I am hungry or overtired. Oh, and I also have sleep apnea. So my big thing right now is to lose weight and hope this all resolves better, but short term I will ask the shrink to try the "Strattera" I hear everyone on the board talk about. It is worth a shot, and since I stopped talking anything else, why not?
Anybody have any other avenues to pursue on this?
I have also heard of stomach yeast growth that may encourge BF, as well as food allergies. At this point, I will try anything....
Me and my sleep doc (neurologist) are at an impasse as far as knowing what else to do, and all he can do is recommend losing weight to help the apnea. I am so darn desperate I am considering bariatric surgery.
Thanks so much for this board Dr. Bob, and all you posters. I feel so darn alone on this, and I think my friends and family think I am a primo drama queen when honestly, it is not safe for me 2 drive...not just in my head.
