Struggling with Medication Side Effects

Do you guys ever feel like down??? Like really emotional due to having to take medicine so your body can work and sometimes you just don't feel the difference. I take my medicine as I should but I'm still always tired.

Oh yes. I have clinical depression to begin with so the inability to do things due to low energy makes it so much worse. My doctor recently increased my meds after I saw no relief and I can tell a difference. I didn't need a nap today, though I'm still fatigued, not tired. Next time I'm going to ask to increase one more time. After almost three months I am finally noticing a difference.

Yes I feel that way constantly, I’m trying so hard to do things correctly. But sometimes lab results aren’t always accurate, they might have to readjust your dosage based on your symptoms. My results come up within normal range but symptoms still remain. I’d also look into testing for other autoimmune/hormonal disorders that can also be contributing to fatigue. Sadly when we have one autoimmune disease we are more likely/prone to have others, it’s like the combo pack that no one asked for 😥

I feel the same way. I don't feel a difference even though I've been on medication for 4 years. I'm tired no matter how much sleep I get as well.
