Is anyone else on three different medications? Each one causes fatigue . It is hard to get anything done. after dinner I just lay down and sometimes don't wake up till 1:30 in the morning. Then I need to wash my face, brush my teeth, etc. I am in a terrible pattern and I try to break it each day. Any suggestions?

Hi loveletters, it's always best to talk this over with your doctor.Sometimes, something as simple as switching the time you take the
medication can make a big difference in getting the full benefit w/o
causing you to sleep at inappropriate hours.
Another thing is you may be overmedicated which can cause this
extreme tiredness. Again, this must be addressed by the prescribing
physician.
I know what that is like. At one time I was on several meds that did the
same thing to me. Needing daily naps and still falling asleep after dinner.
Felt drugged and not myself all the time. Once the doctor adjusted my
meds and pulled me off one of them, I was okay. Hope you can find a
solution as well xx
Is it possible to take your meds before bedtime so the fatigue happens while you are asleep?
Dear Designguy,
Of Course you can, smart idea, I did that in fact. If you dont feel your nomal good self, and sluggish, go back, !! I used to be awake all night, then that was an indication my meds needed increasing. (body get used to it or just does not have the same effect. I also feel, doctors just dont realise what to expect and dont have much training in this area. You are your best doctor
keep well eat healthy
You may be right. I will ask the doctor if I can take all three meds at night before bed. Right now I only take one at bedtime.
