Hi welcome to the forum,
I always think treat the symptoms not the lable.... Like a back ache, the ortho says bulged disc and treats. the nuero says piched nerves and treats. the PCP says loose weight

It concerns me is the mixture of meds to balance your needs. So many side effects and adding more meds. Many need the mix to keep each need covered, but how do we know that limit and that one more med.

I agree with wave too about the light...so many things in our environment contribute...we have so many needs our grandmothers did not have.
I had used Valerian root about 11 years ago and the only thing I found was it smelled stinky...
I take Valium for muscle spasms and that helps me a lot with other symptoms. Like better sleep hygien, but I use it so sparingly.

I have lexapro, the max dose had my mouth so dry, I am trying to cut down the dose per the PCP. see what happens there.

I uderstand that some excersize helps with endorphins, but I would be crawling on my tredmill to get use of it. Maybe a baby walker for adults would help...gotta laugh at that vision going through with the Mall walkers

But I would not worry about the lable, I am labless and find the best treatment from that. Each symptom and med watched and my feed back to how I am managing.
Glad to meet you with the gang.....
