I could have sworn this started *before* I started Emsam, but now I'm not so sure...
Started Emsam on Wednesday, the 19th. I *think*, 2 days prior to this, I was getting severe fatigue without the accompanying (usual) depressed mood. Mood still isn't great, but not as bad as usual. Been fatigued like crazy since then.
I'm sleeping about 10 hours at night, and waking up completely exhausted. This isn't "too" abnormal for me, but it's much worse now. I don't have enough energy to do anything, and need naps during the day. I walk around like a sloth all day.
I was taking Klonopin for insomnia , and thought that might be causing the fatigue. I didn't take it last night, slept "fine", and I'm a zombie today. So maybe it's not the Klonopin.
I'm picking up my 3mg Lunesta pills today (I hope) and I'm gonna give that a shot to see if I can get better quality sleep. I'm unsure if I'm getting poor sleep quality or not.
Oh well. I do not want to stop the Emsam, but *if* this is causing this fatigue or making it worse, I will have to. I can barely function while being this tired.
Anyone on Emsam getting tired or fatigued from it?
I was on both Parnate and Nardil a few months back, and neither caused fatigue. Quite the opposite, that being insomnia and difficulty staying asleep.
Can't even drink this coffee either, it's giving me a bad headache. :(
