I wish there was a drug that got rid of my tiredness

[whatdoidonow]

I spent years of my life unable to accomplish most things because I got distracted being lazy and not realizing how behind I am.
I now know what to do with my life but the problem is I keep getting fatigued and tired so I don't do my work most of the time.
I wonder if there is a medicine or drug that I can take to make my self not sleepy.
Even if I feel sleepy I would still focus on my work.
I don't have adhd so I should rule out adhd meds.
I never tried smoking but I am willing to try it out if it makes me awake and focused

I very much relate to this problem. I'm so far behind now that there's no way I'll ever catch up. I barely have the energy for day-to-day basics.

I'm right there with you. Been to the doctor about it and no help there. Coffee and energy drinks don't help because they just make me anxious.

Apparently, bupropion is really good for this. i just have a really bad tolerance for any ssri or snri but everyone i know who is on it says it gives them the jolt they need to like live and do stuff. also heard the same about escitalopram.

Have you also considered your diet? Are you getting everything you need? I sometimes feel a little better when I try to up my protein.

i was in the same boat until i got comitted for schizophrenia and put on anti psychotics (abilify) now i can leave my bed and actually live life. i still want to kms, it doesn't help with that, but it helps with being able to do things, i don't have a job but i've been able to maintain activities everyday when before i would just doomscroll.

I relate to much to this post and the comment after it. I am way too behind in life. I value qualities like conscientiousness, discipline. I desire to live a life better than the one I am living right now, but there is no way I have been able to bring myself to actually take actionable steps. Some the core reasons why i am passively suicidal.

Have you ever had your MRI done by any chance? If not and if you can afford it, please get it done. Multiple Sclerosis (which can be seen on an MRI) and sleep apnea (which is diagnosed through a polysomnography) can give you intense fatigue and excessive daytime sleepiness. I have both, I know.
