Docs are Befuddled -- so far.. Any thoughts

Posted by Tracy on November 6, 2000, at 19:46:55

Ok -- I am tired. Very tired. I have been tired for four months. I can sleep for hours -- sometimes 20 or more. My eyes slam shut I am so tired -- get it?

Hypothyroidism and other thyroid illnesses have been eliminated. I am not anemic. I've had a complete physical and OB/GYN exam.

I take my AD at night (Effexor XR 225mg.). My Pdoc put me on ritalin to keep me awake (I am a law student). I had to keep increasing it (up to 30 mgs.). I felt like crap on it. Turns out it was pumping my bloodpressure up from 108/60 to 130/90. We stopped the Ritalin. He started me back on Wellbutrin SR in the interim (100 mg. in the morning).

I also take a multi-vitamin with iron, prilosec, and mircette (bcp) (all also at night).

I am still waiting for a sleep study due to difficulty getting me in. I don't snore. I don't wake up choking. When I do wake I feel like I have been in a coma -- very disoriented. Then the extreme tiredness starts again.

HELP HELP HELP.
