Good Morning All,
I have a question regarding my medication cocktail, I am on 12 medications a day, at least 6 of these are to control my bipolar disorder, the others manage high blood pressure, migraines, acid reflux, hypothyroidism, and cholesterol. I also take several vitamens recommended by my doctor. Most of the medications have fatigue as a side effect. Overall I am doing excellent, but, I am exhausted all the time. I wonder if anyone else finds this to be a problem with the meds. I really cannot afford not to take them. Thanks in advance for any feedback.

I am lucky as I take seroquel and it does not normally tire me... its making the choice of addressing it if it is really impacting on your life and weighing up the benefits and the costs.. I know some people drink a lot of coffee but am not sure that is a healthy thing (can cause anxiety etc)
sorry I don't have any decent advice... just want you to know that this is a common problem for a lot of people
