Sleeeepy on Lyrica/Keppra/Dilantin

Thu, 10/19/2006 - 00:52
I am sick and tired of being so tired! Does anyone have any ideas on how to deal with the horrible fatigue that we get with these drugs? I remember seeing ads on TV about a pill that would give you more energy.

You are on three different drugs. Dilantin can make you very tired. But I always say, I have been tired all my life with all the different meds I have been on. But taking some tv pill is not going to help you. Most likely will only cause you seizures. Not a good idea. Try talking to your doctor about vitamins and diet to help your energy. take care Lisa http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/epilepsyapproach/

Dilantin makes me lethargic, I take Guarana that a herbalist friend makes for me, it helps a bit,
