Hello, Johnna.  Without knowing anything else about you, I'd suggest you go visit your doctor and get a physical to see if there is anything out of balance in things like vitamins, hormone levels, heart, etc.  Do you think you're depressed and this is part of the symptoms?  There are any number of things that could be causing your fatigue, so hope you will have a doctor check you out.  Let us know if you need any other help.

I take Wellbutrin SR, Zyprexa, Trazodone, Klonopin, Zoloft, Synthroid, Norvasc, and Nexium.  I started taking Zyprexa 40mg in 1997 and it knocked me out for about 14 hrs a day.  Now I am only on 5mg and sleep about 8 hrs every night, but I also take 2-3 naps a day that sometimes last an hour each.  I noticed I needed the naps more after Klonopin was added about 4 months ago.  What medication(s) are you on?  Also, depression itself, as the name indicates, can depress your whole system causing you to feel more fatigued than usual.  I fought the "extra" sleep for a while, but now I just accept it as part of my quest for recovery.

 

Best wishes,

Donna
