I have a reaction to Flagyl. My doctor told me to give it a week and if things were not improving, she will add Rifaximin. I am feeling depressed because of this situation right now. My doctor first prescribed Trazadone and it put me to sleep quickly, it is staying asleep that is the problem. I would fall asleep and 2-3 hours later I was awake taking another Trazadone. I then was given Mirtazapine. It gave me a bit of anxiety and did not put me to sleep right away, then next day felt like a zombie most of the day. I just want to feel better. It may be depression, I have multiple stressors in my life. I was adopted but know depression runs on my bio mom's side. After being adopted, my bio mom married and had two boys, my half-brothers. My oldest half-brother committed suicide when he was 19 in front of my bio mom's place of business, carbon dioxide built up in his car. My second half-brother shot his loyal dog, his wife, then himself in 2009. My bio mom starved herself (a form of senior suicide) on April 8th of this year. I know if I can take care of my own issues, I will be okay. I have three beautiful grandkids that I would like to see grow up. The only time I was in a dark place was after cancer surgery, back home, trying to deal with it all. It subsided and I hope it never comes back.
I have been taking B12 tablets but have thought about an energy boost with a B-vitamin shot. I think with more sleep I will be as right as rain.
Thank you, again for taking the time to respond to my posts.
