Tired all of the time
Posted , 5 users are following.
Hi, So I suffer from PTSD, anxiety and depression. It is 'controlled' with sertraline 100mg daily.
I just wondered if it's normal to feel completely exhausted all day long. I am currently taking my medication in the evening - I don't know if it would make a difference to take in the mornings instead.
So today I was in town with my friend and I couldn't be dealing with it. It felt tiring to put a sentance together and I felt so relieved as soon as I got home! I ate some food and now I'm in bed again. It's only 4pm.
I like to read books and be by myself as it takes my mind off of things that are affecting me...
I just want some advice on how to cope with being tired and would like to hear your experiences.
Thanks.

Great advice here. I would expound on the nutrition side of it as I have taken Sertraline 50 mg at night for many years at a time on and off throughout my adult life without problematic side effects. However, vitamin supplements have helped the extreme fatigue you describe.
I suffer from something called Chronic Epsteine Barre Syndrome, much worse than Mononucleosis. It is worth getting a complete study done to find any underlying physiological causes of your fatigue.
I want to refer you to another forum on here under the category Alternative and Complimentary Medicine, a title something like that. There is a wealth of knowledge in that forum which might help you find answers to your needs, so post there also.
Keep in mind to remember to report your symptoms to your doctor and always check to see if adding any natural medicinal to your daily regime is a safe mix with Sertraline and other meds you might take.
Hope you get to the bottom of your fatigue!
