I'm at a point in my life where it's a real struggle to get out of bed. If I go to sleep around 11pm, I usually can't get up until around 12ish.

I'm on a low dose of tegretol and zyprexa.

I went to the pdoc last week and he didn't change anything nor did he seemed concerned with my energy levels. Just told me I need to get a job and I'll start feeling better. This has been my complaint for like the last year. But, right now more than ever.

I drink a lot of coffee in the morning and it barely has an effect on me.
I try to exercise every day and started taking b12.

I believe the zyprexa is causing this, but its believed that I really need this drug.

I just want to feel alive again. Obviously depression has physical effects along with mental, and this may be the case.

I don't think it could be anything physical because I'm pretty healthy and am 28.
Maybe I should get checked anyways,?

Or perhaps I've put myself through so many manias that part of my brain is physically damaged. Its been over a year, since my last and usually id be recovered by now, but I haven't seemed to recovered from my last episode at all.

I don't know what to do. I'm tempted to go off the zyprexa and I've been cutting them in half for like 6 months. But. I take meds for my family's sake.

How do you guys deal with tiredness and physical exhaustion?
Are there any kind of meds that actually help give you energy?

Thanks
