What Causes Severe Depression And Fatigue Along With Insomnia?

I have a husband who gets sleep - sometimes 12 hours or more, trying to get restorative sleep. He wakes up suicidal most mornings, and has discovered that he doesn t want to commit suicide BUT he FEELS this in his brain. He takes 3 klonopin, 1 tablet of 45 mg. mirtazapine, and 1 betaxolol plus melatonin, a chinese sleep supplement, Trytophan and Phenibut, and sometimes more before going to bed because he is just not sleepy, and can t sleep unless he takes these. He wakes up with a sick feeling, besides suicidal thoughts, and extreme fatigue. He usually goes to bed early in the morning, around 5 - 6 AM, because he sleeps so late. He is disabled with depression and anxiety. Any advise? He would like to get off all drugs, but the withdrawal effects are horrible. He has also been taking Seroquel for sleep, 600 mg! He tried to go off this, and got down to 25 mg, and had to stop because of the withdrawal effects! We are angry, especially him! He wants the right kind of sleep, not just sleep!

Cardiologist 's  Response
Hello,

After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that most likely his mind is stressed with any episode happened around him. It is recommended for you to see a psychologist for counselling along with medications, and he can also join groups where he can find friends to fight with depression.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhanu Partap, Cardiologist
