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.
