You just have to realize what is bothering you. And try to solve a problem with yourself, doctors will only give you pills,they don't care. Been there, done that.

How long have you been on those pills? Coz some of them need more time to show some effect.

Do things you like, draw,read,walk, what ever makes you happy. Before going to bed try to relax by meditating a bit,it helped me lot. I've been on million kinds of pills and i threw them all away by myself. And i'm feeling great now. I have periods of being horribly anxious, i drink, don't sleep,or over sleep, i cry a lot etc. but it kind of goes away by itself.

You probably know what's bothering you the most i think you should ask how to solve that problem.

Good luck to you!

Have you ever been tested for sleep apnea? I told my doctor that I thought I had it and he dismissed it, saying that I was "too thin and too young" to have sleep apnea. He then suggested a bunch of SSRIs. Turns out I DO have severe sleep apnea. So much for doctors.

See your Dr. and tell him the @#$$@$% meds ain't working. You might try reading before bed or other relaxing activities. Or you might try to wear yourself out. But first see that Dr.!
