I was given meds for that. Anyhow even after 2 months of no caffeine no sleep. No meds really helped with my anxiety/depression. For me it was more just self talk and therapy. I do know that when I was so underweight for 12 years it did effect my brain. When I got nurished I do see how my thinking is clearer. So maybe the sleep will come too.Makes for long days. All my friends sleep like 10 hours and can fall asleep anywhere. They joke with me that I'm like the mother of the group. If I ever get better in pain I need to be more young.
Dorothy what did you decide on the med?

That makes much sense. What you said about maybe the sleep issues will clear up. I believe you may be correct.
You may simply be one of those people that meds they give you for specific treatments work in ways unexpected from what they should be doing. If this is the case than maybe herbal types and supplements and vitamins might be the way for you to go.
The B-12 is good for depression and anxiety. One of the symptoms of a deficiency is depression and/or anxiety. Being mal-nourished as you were I'm betting you are lacking or low in many nutritional areas and a pox on the tests they run for this. They simply are not accurate or adequate.
