Tired all the time (bipolar disorder)

Hey everyone, im new to these forums.

I have been diagnosed with bipolar now for 3 years. Although i have had drepression / manic problems now for coming up on 10 years. I cant seem to hold a job / study for more than 6 months at a time when i relapse. I do see a psychiatrist regularly and take my anti-psychotics, mood stabilisers and anti depressants every day (i feel like im eating a meal with the amount of pills im popping).

At the moment im not working or studying but just trying to get better, but i find that when it comes to 1pm every day i can not stay awake. All of my medications have tiredness as a common side effect and i am considering going off of them because of this. Does anyone else have this problem?

Thanks 😄

Hi Big Mac and welcome back to Beyond Blue forums

It has been awhile since you've been here. I don't know much about bipolar. I have depression, anxiety and PTSD. I'm sure there'll be others who will pop in to help you out. Just wanted to let you know you're not alone.

Also, there is a great thread under Staying Well forum - This Bipolar Life. There is a lot of discussion that goes on there and you may find some answers to your questions.

Kind regards

PamelaR
