So I am tired ALL the time. I have been to the Dr. and nothing is wrong physically, I am eating healthy, limit my caffine, get 8 hours of sleep, ect but I just have NO energy and want to sleep all day. I have been treated for depression years ago and it doesnt feel like Im depressed again, and it makes me feel like such a crappy mom. so my question is anyone else struggle with this? A friend of mine takes aderol that the Dr gave her to keep her awake but I feel like that is just like taking speed or something, do you agree or does anyone else take meds for this? thanks!
Adderall is speed. It is an adhd med. And taking it to stay awake would be abusing it. lol.
I used to take caffeine pills but they really don't do shit for me.
i would say if you have had depression in the past that might very well be why you are feeling this way. you don't have to have all the symptoms of depression to "be" depressed. I would talk to your doctor about it for sure.
I know you girls are going to get sick of my Richard Simmons ways...but....do you exercise at all? I ask because while it seems counterproductive if you are tired, the endorphines and hormones released after exercise really give you a huge energy boost. I feel exhausted and miserable on the days I don't exercise, I can hardly keep my eyes open at school!
Anyway, just a thought. I hope you find an answer soon! Good luck mama!
I don't take any thing yet. I will have to talk to my team and see what they suggest. I just found out I have Lupus and I'll have a team of doctors. I see my first one in a week.

Aderal is also used for people with CFS so no its not abusing it. I get to talk to my team about what meds I am willing to use to help with my Lupus.

Exercise it great for some at this time I can barely walk to the end of my drive way so exercise will not work for me.

I have the same problem, but I'm still working off the effects of chemo and all my surgeries. I had lymph nodes removed, so I'm sure that has some part to play.
I take thyroid meds because I've got hypothyroidism which causes you to be tired all the time. Plus a bunch of other problems.
I'm sorry to hear that, I hope you can find answers ! I suggested it to OP because the doctors said there is nothing physically wrong with her.

i have no clue what CFO is...i do know it is used for narcolepsy (which i am assuming she doesn't have lol) as well, and certain other depression issues, but if someone is taking it just for the speed quality and to give themselves a bit of a boost, and it isn't prescribed for that purpose,yes it is abusing it, lol. Taking anything that isn't prescribed to you for a certain problem is considered abuse. The only reason i said that was because the way the post sounded in my head was her asking about taking something for feeling tired....the Dr said nothing was physically wrong, therefore she isn't prescribed anything...do you see where i am going with this? lol :)
