I am totally with you on this one - I could sleep 24 hours a day at times. I am thankful for the fact that I work and have to get up otherwise I genuinely think I would stay in bed for days on end. Not even through not wanting to face the world (or through laziness) but just through physical exhaustion...

I am tired all the time too. I get plenty of sleep also and I am still tired. I am trying to be active every day but it is hard. Hugs I know how you feel.

I'm going through the same thing. I'm trying to make myself get up and do something but all I managed was tog go to the grocery store.

I think it would help me if I would get up and move, but I just want to sleep. They told me to start taking one of me meds at night instead of morning, but I can't tell if it's helping. I think it is some.

So yes, I know how you feel. Hope it gets better soon.

I had the same problem. I still do sometimes. I wake up in the morning, stay awake for a couple hours and take a nap, sometimes even do that twice. I just cant get enough sleep. Problem is that at night I have no problem going to sleep, but I constantly wake up.

Now I am on my regular meds and now been prescribed sleep aids at night.

I was told some depression meds actually should be taken in the morning because they pep you up a bit.

Talk to your doctor to see if they have suggestions.

IM WITH YOU TO,

I GUESS THATS DEPRESSION FOR US I ONLY THE OTHER DAY SLEPT A WHOLE 48HOURS AND WHEN I AWOKE I WAS DEAD TIRED SO I WENT TO BED EARLY.

I MENTION THIS TO MY DOCTOR ALL THE TIME BUT HE SIMPLEY SAYS ITS ONE OFF DEPRESSIONS SYMPTOMS,

SO THERE ISNT ALOT WE MAY DO ABOUT IT REALLY! JUST KOWING THERE ARE OTHERS OUT THERE THAT SHARE AND UNDERSTAND WHERE WE ARE COMEING FROM TRUELY HELPS! I JUST HOPE THIS HELPS YOU A LIL HUGGLES N CUDDLES N GOD BLESS DC

i can so relate-ive been on antidep. meds x8 years im convinced that they make me overweight,over tired and non sexual!ive been under alot of stress lately since caring for my elderly mom-dont get me wrong shes my angel but i feel as though my depression has worsened just seeing her decline.im sooo exhausted all the time.My husband says "you need to exercise",how do i do that when im drained,cant get from point A to point B

cinbin> I also am out of energy so I feel as if I can hardly exercise.

yup.............. zero energy is a daily battle.

*hugs*

I started taking adderall a few months ago to keep me awake. It helps my depression and motivatoin. I can stay on zyprexa without sleeping 18 hours a day. I like B vitamins for energy and drinking plenty of water. Good luck.

I sleep a good 12 hours a night and can barely keep my eyes open during the day. It's tough for me to know whether it is depression or kidney failure. I imagine it's a combination of both. I was just giving in to it and sleeping as much as I wanted to for about a month.

My family was not very happy about it. I am now working on trying to stay up at least for 12 hours. I can't really decide if I feel better for sleeping less or not. For sure I have less energy.

Anyways beyond the health issues is simple boredom. I can't do very much anymore. There is only so much tv you can watch. Anybody else think they might not be so tired if life were a little more exciting? I'm trying to work on simple crafts to pass the time. It helps.

I was feeling the same way as you and found myself sleeping up to 15 hours at a time. I went to the doctor and he ran blood tests. My red blood count was really low so he sent me to an Oncologist. Turns out I have chronic anemia but won't know until tomorrow what he plans to do about it. It runs in my family I guess. My dad had Leukemia and my mother suffers from Chronic Anemia. Sometimes it can be a low thyroid as well. Please make sure it isn't something physical that could be fixed. I hope you find an answer. Hugs GB
