I'm sorry you are having these issues. I do not know what is causing this but your psychiatrist (pdoc) may know. Also you may need to see your family phycision to rule out anything phycial. Ask your pdoc first to see if seeing your other doctor is necessary.

I sure hope you feel better, if you are just starting some new meds or dosage increases or decreases that may be causing how you are feeling. I wish you all the best.

Welcome to the group. You will want to discuss your symptoms with your psychiatrist and see what he says. I'm sure he can get you something to help you sleep for sure. The headaches could be from something physical also. The best thing you could do is talk to your psychiatrist about this. Welcome to the group. You'll get a lot of support here and understanding.

Welcome to the group, I am so sorry that you are not feeling well right now. As the others have said, your pdoc should be aware of how you are feeling. It could be that you are not on the right meds or it could be side effects of the meds, I don't know. The only advice I can give you is to check with your pdoc and PCP, you should not have to continue suffering like this. Please keep posting and letting us know how you are doing.
