Can tiredness/fatigue cause weak muscles?

Hi,

I find myself feeling tired/fatigued most of the time, and also noticed my muscles can feel quite weak at times. For example I can be walking and notice my legs feel really weak or my arms will feel weak at times too when doing everyday tasks.

Basically I am wondering if tiredness/fatigue can cause muscles to become weakened?

I will also say I am on Sertraline 50MG (1 each night), which is an antidepressant.

Thanks.

    Hi I am having similar problems and was put on Gabapentin which only served to send me off to sleep but when I woke up I was still in pain and found walking really difficult.
