I’m so sleepy all the time. I can’t focus on anything. I have so little energy that I can hardly do anything. I’m not so sure I’m feeling unmotivated to do things so much as I don’t have the energy to do them. It’s like being on sedatives 24/7. The worst part is I can’t sleep without benzos because of the awful anxiety I get about falling asleep because that’s when the demons hurt me. I really don’t know what to do. My mom doesn’t understand. I need help. I can’t do caffeine because the meds make it more potent and it gives me anxiety attacks.
which medication are you on now/? some meds are like that… they drain you. Geodon did that for me… I slept long hours during the day.
Take it easy and breathe… you can consider talking to your doc about these side effects…
I cant stand being flat ive choosen to avoid the anti life pills…they were doing nothing but making me boring…if they actually helped i might take them though…
i felt really bad this morning as well, i had to get up though as i had a coffee morning to go to and i know i would feel even worse if i didn’t go, God i had no energy, went well though although i wasn’t at my best, was about 20 people there

If you think you’re tired now…wait until you get into the 50+ year bracket.
Nothing like learning to do the best you are able within your limits.
Maybe it’s time to rethink just how much I’m “supposed” to accomplish in one day?
I’m weaning off Abilify so I’m down to 5 mg now. I’m trying to wean off Ativan so I’m doing .5 mg of that. Then I’m on 100 mg Zoloft.
The thing is I don’t know if it’s the medication or me because I’ve experienced this utter lack of energy off meds as well.
maybe you could try some vitamins/ have you done a recent blood test?
No I haven’t but I should probably. I’ll talk to my pdoc about it when I see her next. Since I’m not doing so well I managed to squeeze in another appointment before she goes on vacation.
