My meds are leaving me feeling exhausted every day/all day. I don't have a sex drive and my partner is feeling very rejected by my disconnected affect.

I know it's the meds because this time last year I had energy and drive to do things. I do every spring. I'm not manic. I may be depressed but I just want everyone to leave me alone.

I can't cope with this. I hope my dr either lowers my dosages or gives me ritalin to add to my cocktail. Ritalin worked in the past when I was exhausted all the time and depressed.

Thoughts?

I'm sorry you are going through this. Sounds tough.

My pdoc and I went through my meds and dropped and heavily sedating meds, replacing them with activating meds. Waiting to see what comes of it.

I hope you find relief soon.

Great advice. Ritalin does help me.

I do not have any suggestions, but I hope you can find some relief. That seems incredibly frustrating. -hugs-
