I am exhausted constantly and I just can’t function - been on 50mg for nearly 6 months

Posted , 1 user is following.

Ive been on Setraline 50mg for almost 6 months and the past few weeks i have just been absolutely exhausted. There is nothing happening in my life currently that could be having this impact on me that i can think of. My job is very demanding emotionally and i know that working from home isn't helping but this cant be the cause of the fatigue im experiencing surely even though it doesnt exactly help? My diet is also fine and balanced and i am a healthy weight and regularly exercise. I have honestly never felt this exhausted. I'm taking my tablet at 10pm before i go to bed around 10.30 and i am awake around 7. I'm falling asleep randomly throughout the day and in the evening and if im not actually asleep i feel like my brain is sleepy. I'm forgetful and just totally zoned out and have no energy. I'm starting to feel really under pressure as i am working from home and i'm not doing nearly as much as i should be. i should add that i have experimented with the times for taking the tablet. i started taking it in the morning as soon as i was out of bed, then at lunch time, then dinner time and now before i go to bed. if anything the fatigue has become worse and worse regardless of the time ive taken it.
