What has your doctor said?
May those good things keep happening to you even if you cannot feel them the way you would like.  |
Thanks. Yes, good memory! Slightly hypo and I'm on a low dose of thyroid meds. I actually noticed a very, very slight improvement in energy after I started the thyroid med...my levels are normal now that I'm taking it. So, I don't think that's the problem.
But, yes, so far every antidepressant I've tried other than Wellbutrin has made me take 4 hour "naps" in the middle of the day even after 7-8 hours of sleep.
The only thing I've ever actually felt good and alive and productive on is Vyvanse, but it was raising my heart rate way too high. Yet, I tried Adderall and it made me tired.
I'm not sure if my main problem is depression, anxiety, add, or something else. I've been diagnosed with all those plus chronic fatigue, but my weight is healthy, my heart is healthy, I've had a zillion blood tests, and I'm in my early 30's. Not sure why I feel like a 70 year old most of the time.
