Dear sir,
I strongly advise you to discuss it with your doctor. Only the doctor who prescribed you medicines is at better judgement of dosage of change of medicines and never ever stop medicines without consulting your doctor.
Depression also needs psychotherapy along with medicines for complete cure. I advise you to consult a therapist for counseling.

Dear Lybrate user,
it must be hard going through these tough times. I would suggest that instead of medications you go for psychological counseling/therapy. Therapy will help you vent and deal with your concerns with certain strategies, skills and techniques. Therapy can empower you with life skills, help you cope and make you self- reliant. It'll also help you in the long term, and the skills you learn in therapy will help you deal with future stressful situations. It's important to face th...more

Good Day.. I can understand your concern. There reason for water retention or edema are many. In Ayurvedic terms its an imbalance of Water energy or Kapha in the body. Food, Medicine, your lifestyle, Thought/Overthinking/Depression etc can influence this factor.
So it's important to look at a holistic aspect to identify the reason behind this symptom.
Feel free to reach me online to understand the both physical and emotional symptoms to recommend suitable alternative solutions.more

Hi please consult a therapist and doctor, who can find out if you have other issues or symptoms also for insomnia. Before sleep meditate for 5-10 min, take a walk and use your bed only to sleep not for watching tv, mobile etc. Try to calm yourself, try to have thought free mind. All these you will have practice slowly and it will work.
If need further help can connect me on private chat.
Thanks.

Try to hangout or have walk with your pet if you have one :). You will learn what unconditional love is! you will fo...more
