[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 306203, member: 1550"] Hey, I'm sorry and feel for your dear son. Having a severe mood disorder myself, trust me, I know about the constant fatigue from medication. For thath matter, my oldest son is on medications and is always tired. Unfortunately, that's the downside. There are certain medications I've trialed that made me unable to keep my eyes open--although Prozac is not supposed to do this, it was the worst offender. I would fall asleep at work. You never know what the medications are going to do to you. More often than we wish, they don't do what they are supposed to do and they have horrible side effects that make you wonder "Is it worth it?" Have you tried Lithium or Lamictal? in my opinion it's not good that he is always sleeping and I think (in my opinion) it's the medication. The medications can also cause cognitive dulling so that school is a real chore. That's another thing my daughter complained about with Depakote until she finally just tossed it in the trash. At nineteen, she could do that. I hope you find the answer for your little guy. Seems like, as the day goes on and the medications are maybe wearing off a bit, he does rouse. That's good. I take two medications and have for over fifteen years. To this day, Clonazapen still makes me tired. I try to only take it at night or else I'm zonked. I never did get used to it like you're supposed to. Unfortunately, through tons of drug trials, I've learned that it's common for drugs to be problematic. When they help, it's great. But often it's trial and error. :raspberry-tounge: And a royal pain too! [/QUOTE]
