For the last 2 to 3 months I’ve been chronically tired. On occasion I’ve found myself sleeping in excess of 12 hours. Tests have ruled out Lyme disease and mono, but haven’t given an answer either. I eat relatively well. I don’t get as much exercise as I should, but I find when I do exercise an hour or so later I’m unable to stay awake.

I don’t have any chronic pain along with the fatigue. There’s not a chance I could be pregnant. I feel otherwise healthy, just tired all the time.

I have another appointment with a doctor next week. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I could ask her to look for this time?
I take birth control pills and cytalopram on a regular basis, but I’ve been on both of those for over a year. I wouldn’t be developing side effects to them now.

My daughter was put on Focalin XR for ADHD. She takes this first thing in the morning along with her anitbiotics for Lyme Disease. Since she has been taking this she has not slept more than 5 hours at night. I have checked every other medicine and none of them seem to cause any sleep problems. Besides that the doctor that put her on this medicine said she either had ADHD or Bipolar disorder but they couldn’t tell which one. Any help would be great. Thanks!!
