I can't take this anymore.... I'm so tired of being tired. I have been napping on and off today since 10 a.m. (it is now 2p.m.) and I had the most fucked up dream. And it was one of those surreal dreams, ya know? I dreampt that I started taking my daughters Straterra pills since she is on a new pill. I remember shoving a whole bunch in my mouth and then I remember telling myself "What the fuck are you doing? Trying to kill yourself? Spit that shit out!" I was just so tired of feeling tired that I was looking for any way to "wake up". At another part of the dream I went to the therapist (and this was really weird, because I had been here before, maybe it is the therapist I see in my dreams?) and they had my records wrong. There was another Phyllis (Smith) and some different married name, that was a pre-school teacher. So I was fighting with them trying to tell them that is NOT me. So there were two therapists, and I had seen both of them at different times. I sat and talked to the one while the other one was getting my correct records. It was fucking weird, man! So, here I sit with a cup of re-heated coffee. Contemplating on taking a Straterra, but giving myself a thousand reasons as to why I should not.  |

Do you have any B-complex vitamins? They really work if you need energy. (((((HUGS)))))

damn dont' know what stratterra is. but i don't think a lot of it would be good. this is one of the hardest things to deal with and for other people to understand. take pills - tired - don't take pills - awake. and i hate those weird realistic day dreams. and do they accept medicare for dream therapy?  |

K - Straterra is a drug used to treat ADHD symtoms. It is an upper. Very similar to meth, but safer. I know, total oxymoron, but it's true.

It effects norprenphrine but not dopamine or seratonin. I still wouldn't fuck with it though. Your body needs proper fuel not drugs to feel energized.  Hope you feel better soon. |

I agree with dreamline, healthy energizing foods and vitamins. Have you tried Bee Pollen? And seriously get some B-complex, it works.

yes, yes, I know.  I have been eating well. Been taking my vitamins. Have to get some B though and I also ran out of my D. The only B I have been getting is in my multi-vitamin. If I could go to bed at a decent hour, I think I would be golden. But.... that doesn't seem to be happening anytime soon. |

I took Straterra. It is NOT a stimulant such as Ritalin, Adderall, and Dexedrine. Strattera, also known by its generic name atomoxetine, is the only non-stimulant medication approved by the FDA for ADD/ADHD treatment. Unlike stimulants, which affect dopamine, Strattera boosts the levels of norepinephrine, a different brain chemical

I say this all the time. I am tired of being tired!! I picked some B-complex up the other day and absolutely hate it.  I am not taking it anymore. It makes me nauseous and feel icky. Multivitamins don't like me very much. |

my new thing is to take a shot of B12 + multivitamin + omega 3
I am still very tired during the day, but not as tired. I take a nap like every other day now instead of every day. I have been drinking Marley's Mellow Tea at night and I have actually been getting to sleep at night. I am wondering if I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or if maybe my Lupus is getting worse? I just want answers...

I take a whole food Multi Vitamin, Omega-3, Calcium + VitaminD and the B-complex stress blend that I talked about on U-Tube. And I Juice! You have to make sure that you have something in your stomach B4 taking vitamins or they will upset your tummy. Ashley, are you taking your vitamins with food? |

Always Paz. I have singular vitamins that are great-- iron, B12, liquid flax for omega's and vitamin D. My body just doesn't like the multis. I don't know why. I always get extremely nauseous after taking a multi and then I get bloated and crampy. It's like my body can't digest them properly.
