Why does my head feel this way?!
Question: I've been living in basically a fog recently. I can't think, if I get to sleep I have terrible nightmares, and am now on sleeping meds and anti-depressents. But life is going in slow motion and I can't think. I am in high school, and trying to deal with school, but now my grades are suffering. I can't consentrate, or think, and my head is killing me. My school is all computers too, so that may contribute to it too. Any advice other than go see the doctor- I've tried and they don't help

Lack of sleep will cause the symptoms you are having as well as sleeping meds also will cause the same symptoms. I know because I have insomnia. Try to get off the sleeping meds and try some natural remedies. Try some of the following: melatonin, hot bath, warm milk, dark cool room, sleeping sound machine (works for me!), start a journal and write down what's on your mind before sleeping. Try not to worry, it really sounds like lack of sleep to me. Good luck!
I know you dont want to hear this but - get back to your docs maybe its the meds that are making you worse and you may need to change them sometimes anti depressents and sleeping pills need to be tweaked to get the right combination. Also whats the lighting like in school this could also be making you worse.
Please dont suffer on in silence get back to the docs and tell them you need help and you need it now. Good Luck
DO YOU DRINK DIET SODAS WITH THE ASPARTAME IN THEM AS MY SISTER WHEN SHE EATS OR DRINKS ANYTHING WITH ASPARTAME HAS PROBLEMS WITH NOT BEING ABLE TO THINK RIGHT OR TALK RIGHT.
No, they don't. Will your parents let you go see a chiropractor? And then because you are a teenager is it allowed for you to try alternative methods rather than sleeping pills & anti-depressants? I'm older and have that choice so I've tried Min-Chex for the depression and it works and Deep Sleep for the sleep and it works, but I found out about these through my chiropractor, who, by the way told me what's wrong when the regular doctor couldn't.
