I agree that meds can suck, yet sometimes side effects do ease over time. Sometimes people blame medications for discomforts that are actually mental illness related. I mean, people with bipolar disorder get depressive and hypo/manic symptoms. Don't they? Depression can include fatigue and anxiety. Sometimes even without deep sadness. Of course I can't know the true causes for yours, but know messing around with other substances (i.e. caffeine) can bring opposite reactions than expected, even if they didn't initially. The article at
Does coffee make you tired? Here'''s why explains this. I know from personal experience that abusing an OTC cold medication (i.e. pseusophedrine) backfired. I've read similar about DXM, an ingredient in some OTC cough medications. Yea, those substances suck!

The theory I reference above (low energy without sadness) is described by Dr. Jim Phelps at Rapid Cycling And Mixed States As Waves – Psych This is a website that member BeyondtheRainbow frequently references.

I take 600 mg Seroquel XR at night, and am not tired during the day. I got past that side effect. I took 160 mg Geodon in the past, regularly and at the same times each day, I must say, and got past that medication's initial sedation. Yes, some time and patience was required, but also lifting of mood. It can be a darned hard balancing act to get everything at the right spot!
