Extreme ehaustion?

Question

Lately i've been feeling extremely exhausted, and I don't know if it is just a phase that i'm going through or if i should be worried. i'm taking prozac, topamax, and trileptal.( and i've been taking them for a few months now) ...has anyone else had this problem, and what did you do about it?


thanks ahead of time for any answers :)

Answer 1

First, make sure that your depression is really under control. It sometimes helps to have a regular bedtime and getting up time as too much sleep can actually lead to fatigue.
Next, be sure you are eating a regular, healthy diet.
Also, make sure you are getting adequate sleep. If you feel exhausted when you wake up, take some positive steps. Do something relaxing before you go to bed, sleep in a dark room, if you go to sleep with the TV, set the control so it will go off so it doesn't interrupt your sleep later. If you sleep to music, use a CD rather than radio so changes from songs to talking does not interfere with your sleep.
Have your Dr. check your thyroid levels, iron levels, and B12 levels. Above all, if these things do not help, be persistent with your Dr. Extreme fatigue is sometimes the first symptom of auto-immune disorders such as lupus and fibromyalgia. If you find no help and your Dr. starts brushing you off, change Dr.s

Seems like you are taking too much pills for your body. Try laying off those medications that you do not need. Best is to go for natural remedy rather than these. They could be your cause of exhaustion.
