Well, NO WONDER you're tired, snookie!
Lookie here - all of these meds on your list that you take on a daily basis have sleepiness/tiredness or lethargy as a side effect:
vicoden es 5-8 (as needed) Sleepiness (sometimes goes away after use)
zanex .5 mg 2-3 x's Sleepiness is the intended outcome of this med
oxycontin 20mgs 3-4 Sleepiness OR insomnia are side effects
skelaxin 800 mgs Fatigue is a side effect
lyrica 100 mg 2-3 Drowsiness, but can go away
meclizine hcl 25 mgs Drowsiness
[Benadryl Everyone knows this makes you REALLY tired!
prozac 60 mgs Lethargy
benadryl (as needed) Sleepiness
detrol la Patient info states not to take if you are doing something that requires you to "be awake and alert"
Also...I don't understand why you are taking vicodin
AND Oxycontin, both. As far as my pain doc would be concerned, I'd be taking only
one or the other.
provigil 200 mgs//(tried 100 no good)( tried 150 no good) That's okay. You are allowed to take 200 mg's. I also take this. BUT one thing I learned is that this medication has a tendency for the patient to build up a tolerance to the dose VERY easily. So it's quite possible, if you take this daily, that you've already built up a tolerance to the 200 mg dose. I'm not sure what the max dose is that you can take, but I'd check with your doctor. OR, spread the dose out. What I do is take 100 mg's in the morning, then later in the day I take another 100 mgs, so I can spread out the energy. That way I don't "crash" either.
So with so MANY of your meds having a side effect of sleepiness and lethargy....my GOODNESS it's no wonder you're tired sweetie!
