Q: New bipolar meds causing tiredness

My pdoc in Dec changed my meds to cymbalta 60 mg, kept the depakote er the same, kept xanax the same. Well my last appointment we found out that my depakote levels were extremly low and we increased it and ever since the change I have noticed that I have been sleeping all of the time and my concentration has been messed up. My pdoc talked about switching me to zyprexa but I was really concerned about the weight gain from the zyprexa. I had a problem in the past with the wellbutrin xl but isnt there a regular wellbutrin that i can take that wont make me all wired up. I cant take tiredness anymore. I want to be back to a normal functioning person who can get a job and not worry about laying in bed so much. I know its not the depakote that is making me tired because it has never done it in the past. Please any advice.

bipolar meds tired
it sounds like your body is just taxed. find ways to support your liver and kidneys through nutrition. and consider cutting gluten. it worked for me. may not for you, but if nothing else has worked for you...maybe it is worth a shot.
