hi, the biggest problem i have right now is tiredness, i go to college a few days a week and on a monday like today i have a full day and it is pretty hard but what makes it even harder is trying to stay awake or being incredibly tired, i was so tired today esp at lunch time that i wanted to sleep on the chair in the cafe; my eye lids get so tired and it feels like i am just going to drop, why do these meds have to do this?

I have no problem myself with tiredness.Im up like 20 hrs a day.I suppose maybe I should be in the insomniac room discussion but jesus I have so many problems right now cant be in 2 places at the same time... If you dont mind me asking what meds are on?

it is an unfortunate side effect of a lot of meds. can you work with your doctors to take the least amount possible? also, contrary to the standard "8 hours," many people need more like 9 to 10 hrs of sleep ideally, where other people operate best on 6 to 7.

you can try this too: when you have an especially alert day, take note of anything which might allow you to recreate it again. such as, how much sleep you got the night before, what kinds of foods you ate, what amount of exercise you had, etc.
good luck to you. i hope your classes are going well.

thankss guys, i try and get the proper sleep i need but it iss hard to keep a balance sometimes what with me forgeting a dose here and there as well and i do take the least amount possible as well bc i am a very small dose but it is extremely powerful to me, i take 200mgs amisulpride,
coffee sometimes helps but sometimes i think it is making me sleepy too sometimes, it's weird.

Improper diet or dehydration may cause feelings of tiredness, a lot of these meds can cause dehydration. Also sometimes vitamin, ammo-acid or fatty acid deficiencies can play an underlining role in our energy levels.

I hope you figure it out.

I just remembered, this might help getting the proper diet and nutrition. It lets you chart out a days meal and shows and calculates the nutrient profiles so you can basically be a minor nutritionist.
