so tired and fatigued even on Adderall

Posted by jerryTRD on October 25, 2010, at 15:09:38

I've never been so tired and fatigued in my life. It started back in July. At first I thought it was due to some insomnia from the Adderall - but when I got that worked out it continued.

I've seen an endocrinologist who found my thyroid or TSH to be very low and have been taking 125mcg for about 2 months now. I was also found to have mild obstructive sleep apnea for which my doctor referred me to a pulmonologist who I have no seen yet. My Endo found out my Testosterone lvls where low so he started me on AndroGel which I have been taking for 5 days now.

I can't get enough sleep. I sleep 15-18 hours a day. I don't know what's wrong?

Recently - the past month or so - I've had terrible bouts of diarrhea sending me to the ER twice. My family doc said it was IBS-D -diarrhea and put m eon Lomotil twice a day.

I just feel physically sick -in my gut - and I'm wondering if it's my psch meds or that I might actually be sick with something.

I'm afraid to call my family doc about it because she's seen me like 4 times in the past month about this and I'm afraid she'll drop me as a patient for being so "mysteriously sick" all the time.. She did have some blood work done that showed my white blood cell count was high -but it didn't seem to be of major importance to her.

I don't know what to do.

Here's what I'm taking:

Adderall 20mg 3x daily
Klonopin 1mg 5x daily
Lexapro 10mg
Effexor XR 150mg
Seroquel 300mg
Synthroid 125mcg
Androgel 1%
Lomotil 5mg 2x- 3 x daily

I feel nauseated, my abdomen aches constantly, I'm tired all the time and very much fatigued. If it weren't for the Adderall I'd be in bed.

Any suggestions??

Thanks
Jerry
