What is the right treatment (medication) for me?

I have been taking Cardura 2mg, Lipitor10 mg, Hctz 25mg, Avandia 4 mg, Zestril 20 mg X 2, Nifedipine 60mg, Glyburide 5 mg X 2, 325 coated Aspirin, and Temazapam 15 mg per day along with 3 leader of Oxygen at night.

I have been feeling tired all time. I am diagnosed with depression & being treated for HBP, Diabetes, & sleep apnea.

Last week I went to Dr., and he put me on avandiamet, 4/500 once a day. It helps me feel better, but it wires me where I can’t get to sleep for a long time. I feel energetic like I haven’t for a long time, but I got to have my rest. Is there an interaction with some of the other meds? Causing this? I asked the Dr. about going on insulin, and he said he would put me on it if I wanted. I said let me think a little.

Can you advise me on the meds? and suggest what to do.

Thanks,
Kenny

Hello Grippa,
We're volunteers here & not physicians, so please keep working with your doctor.  It's probably good to ask your doctor for a referral to a diabetes specialist -- an endocrinologist or diabetologist.

You've had some good comments from other posts that may be helpful for you to review with your doc, too.  Our bodies are quite complex and each thing that isn't quite right often has an impact on other things.

I wish you good luck & wish I could've been more help.
