does anyone have any advice on how to tell the difference between when my depression makes me feel tired, and my antidepressants have the side effect of making me feel tired? I feel tired basically all the time, but since I'm on three antidepressants, I can never tell if it is the depression or if one or more of them is just making me feel tired. I'm on nortriptyline for nerve pain associated with tension headaches, venlafaxine for depression and escitalopram for PMDD. I'm kind of tired of feeling tired, but I don't know how to tell what the main cause is so that I can try to feel better.

One user mentioned that a good way to know is if you have been put on medication for depression, and if you seem to be better after some time, then it is likely the depression. However, if you aren't noticing any change with medication, they suggest asking for a different medication to try, and if still the same, go back and ask for more answers. It's essential to consult with your doctor about your concerns and discuss potential adjustments to your medications or further testing to determine the cause of your constant tiredness.
