I'm always always tired!! why?!
Question: I'm always always tired!! why.?
No matter how long I sleep or how little I sleep, I'm always ALWAYS tired! I am on a medication for my ocd/depression called Luvox. I've been on it before in the past. When I first started taking it back then, it didn't make me tired at first, but two months after I was on it, I was so tired all the time, and always slept. I've only been on it now for about a month. I was tired before I started taking the medication. I mean, the medication has made me just a little bit more tired. But why am I always sleepy.?! I can't take being tired all the time! Even if I'm active, I still continue to be really tired, it doesn't really wake me up. when my boyfriend and I plan on staying up late just spending time with each other,I just get too tired and fall asleep, so then we don't get to stay up late with each other like we had wanted. I'm 19 btw, if that matters at all. Maybe I have sleep apnea.?Health Question & Answer
Answers:
Try iron, B vitamin and Royal Gelly supplements. These help naturally boost energy levels. Women most commonly suffer from iron deficiency. Give it a try and see. You may want to try switching meds. When I was suffering from depression I found it very difficult to be on meds because they made me so emotional at first, I became numb to emotion in general and this seemed to lower my energy levels and actually long term, made me more depressed.
I would enquire with your doctor. The meds could be tampering with your melatonin production (natural occuring drug in your body that makes you sleepy). You may want to try taking your meds at a different time of day. I used to take mine at night so it would be okay that I was tired and then it would be worn off by mid day the next day.
Or maybe try caffinated tea/coffee and then train your body to sleep between specific hours by taking melatonin supplements. (you can get in drug stores)
Anyways, hope this helps! Good luck!Health Question & Answer
