Suggest Medication To Reduce Stress And Difficulty In Sleeping

Hello, my Mother passed away suddenly on Christmas Eve. My Aunt, in October. I have health issues, in which my Mom was planning to move down here with us, to help my husband with our 5 daughters. With the sudden losses of my Aunt and Mother, who was my best friend, the upcoming Graduation of my oldest, and my brother's wedding, I am going through so much, and I'm feeling extremely overwhelmed. I'm not sleeping or eating the way I should, and I just don't know how to get through this. My PCP prescribed Serroquel for me to try, but I am not feeling a difference. I am inquiring as to the correct route I should be taking to get through all of this, and if theres a different type of med I should look into taking. Thank you.

Hi.

I understand your concern.

Stress can affect your sleep pattern.

Improvement in daily stress level can improve your sleep problems.

Discuss with friends/see all thing with different angle/positive outlook/confidence etc can help.




Exercise/meditation/deep breathing and hyperventilation

proper sleep

stress free activity/do pleasurable activity/music and hobbies


all this will help you to counter daily stress.

Medicines like benzodiazapine can act as anxiolytic and sedative Which can counter your stress level and improve sleep also.

I hope i have answered your query.

Still if you have query then feel free to ask.

Thank you.
