How Can Insomnia And Weight Loss Be Dealt With While Managing Depression?

Hello my name is jenny im 18 and struggling with sleeping and have a few more concerns. as ive never been diagnosed or checked with a doctor for depression, i can feel that i have been this past year. however my family and friends have been helping me with that issue and i feel as ive made progress and am improving. but i know ive lost some weight as well and its something that really bothers me. My two main concerns are gaining weight and getting more sleep. are there any medications i can bring up to my doctors? asking for help.

Hello,

Insomnia can be treated with drugs like Zolpidem and Alprazolam. It is better to go for Zolpidem instead of Alprazolam drug because alprazolam will lead to dependency on chronic use.

Zolpidem is available in the trade name of Zolfresh.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Srinivas Bandam
