I suffer with BPD and Sertraline makes me so tired I can’t cope, has anyone got any useful tips?

Posted , 1 user is following.

So i have been taking Sertraline for 2 years now for BPD. I am currently on 50mg as i lowered the dose to see if this would help with the fatigue but its made no difference. I am constantly exhausted and find daily life difficult. I cannot say its even helped much with my symptoms as i still have months of severe depression and suicidal thoughts. Has anyone found anything to help with the tiredness? i really cannot live like this any longer its doing more harm than good. I wonder if anyone has found something that works for them who also suffer with BPD? Mental health services don't seem to want to change my medication as i have had some bad episodes recently but i genuinely believe that its actually making things worse for me, if anyone else is suffering in any way remotely similar or anyone has some good tips and advice i would be so grateful to hear them!
