I feel asleep most of the day.?!
Question:
I feel asleep most of the day.?
I am a male in early 30. I was diagnosed of depression 8 years ago and on paxils every since. I have a problem with staying awake and focus. I feel sleepy all the time, even after an 8,9 hours of sleep. I wonder if there is any Medication to cure this problem. I have heard of Ritalin and adderal , should I try these out? Please help me , I am sleepy. I need to take a nap now.
Answers:
I was on paxil for a few years. It made me fell the SAME WAY..I could hardly stay awake and gained weight like you wouldnt believe...That's a common side effect of SSRI (Paxil, prozac, zoloft...) Personally I like Wellbutrin. I have been of Wellbutrin for a few years and I actually feel like a person again. I have energy and I can actually feel things...I don't just feel in a constant state of "whatever". You DEFINATELY need to discuss this issue with your doctor before stopping or starting anything else. I guarentee you won't be the fist person to mention this issue. Good luck! Hope I helped!
