Are you tired all day?

I take a stimulant, but I’m still tired all day from the APs.

2

Do you exercise?

3

I can’t even get off the couch or out of bed. I’m motivated, just tired. So no, I don’t exercise. I’m too tired to exercise.

Are you tired?

I’m sorry that you feel tired all day @FlyingPurplePeopleMeeter.
I feel drained on my meds too.

I barely walk enough steps.

I’m not always tired, but I have no motivation. I just lie in the bed all the time. I’m usually tired in the morning after sleeping if I sleep. I had to force myself to get up and do some things today. It’s nearly 3pm, and I’m back to lying in the bed. I don’t feel tired, just a little depressed.

I’m sorry you’re depressed. Does anything help?

Not all day, just when I wake up and for an hour or two right after.

I’m usually really tired until around dinner time, then I finally wake up.

I’ll get out of the house to go to doctors appointments and certain stores on some days but most of the time I spend my time in the house lounging about or on the couch.

I’m always tired. Without the cigarettes it would be really a dread. I lay in bed and most of the time just stand up for smoking, besides the survival stuff.

Oh, just getting up and doing things, if I can.

My symptoms go from here to there really fast. For example: I stayed up 41.5 hrs until last night and only got 7hrs of sleep, and I am not tired. Other days, my motivation keeps me stuck on the couch and I don’t do something til around 5pm, like eat, I forget to do everything, like drink water. So it depends on the day. The days I get tired and lack motivation, it is very hard to change my behavior because I feel blank

I have this same problem. I am on 20 mg of Zyprexa and 600 mg of Gabapentin. I sleep almost whenever I am home and have the time. I must have something scheduled to wake up for in the morning or I sleep more than 12 hours. This is a big problem for me. In terms of exercise, I take a 15 minute walk sometimes. Please don’t tell me exercise is the solution to all of this.
I feel tired almost all the time, and I look tired. The doctor is worried I will have a relapse if he lowers my meds.
I can add that I have felt sedated from my meds for most of the 38 years I have had my illness.
There has got to be some reward for what I have been through. I believe so. You don’t have to agree, but this belief is essential to me.

I can’t do this for 38 years. I can’t be this tired and take care of two toddlers. I need to go off of my meds.
