Q: What the Heck Is Wrong With Me???

I am convinced that something may be wrong with me. First of all, I am not a hypochondriac or anything like that. I have just a lot of odd things going on with me almost daily. First of all, everyday I suffer from deep sleepiness. Some days I cannot control my drowsiness. I just want to sleep. I could be at work, I could be doing something fun, driving, anything and sometimes I just nod off so quick and I usually awake with a jolt. It seems like I go into a really deep sleep and jolt back up within minutes. This is starting to concern me. I find myself at work sometimes just barely hanging on to conciousness by the skin of my teeth. I am worried I am going get in trouble or something. Another thing that happens on a daily basis is migraines. I have them almost daily and when I take midrin or maxalt they most of the time don't work. I can go to sleep with a migraine and wake up in the morning with the same one. I also suffer from tingling in my feet, not like a loss of circulation or like when your feet fall asleep. It's a different tingling. And it happens in a small area of the foot about the size of a fifty cent piece. Last but not least, I am freezing all day long. Even with a sweater on and it just drives me nuts. The other medications I take are zoloft, nexium, and ortho-tricyclen. The zoloft dosage has changed many times since december. I have gone from 50 mg to 75 mg and now down to 25. The reason is that I was almost lethargic on 75 mg. I could not be roused in the morning and it was interfering with my life. Now I am able to get up but I suffer throughout the day. Any suggestions or ideas would be awesome. Thanks and god bless.

Problems?
Geesh those are some messed up problems. Well....I'm not a doctor or anything but i've been told from my gyno that sometimes birth control and make you always tired. But not to where you nod of so quick. If I was you I would go to the doc and tell him everything and make sure you figure out with is going on with you. Also, birth control can cause blood clots in your legs and maybe you should get checked for that.
I'm not sure. I hope I could have kinda helped. If you need someone to talk to pm me.
Good luck. Keep me posted.
