Hello
Welcome to HCM.
You have very nicely detailed your symptoms. I must appreciate this.
Coming to your problem, i feel that most of the symptoms fit into the diagnosis of narcolepsy.
I suggest you to go for a polysomnography study or sleep-eeg.
Here are sone some drug options for you:
You can tablet ambien 5mg for sleep at night. Avoid xanax or similar drugs as this may increase your problem.
You can take tablet fluoxetine in morning every day. This will take care of your depression.
Also you can take tablet provigil 100mg in morning. This is a psychostimulant and will prevent your day-time sleep attacks. This will also help you to concentrate.
You can take tablet combiflam as and when required for headache.
Please consult your physician and discuss about this.
Hope this helps you.
Thanks.
