I'd really appreciate some help and advice.
Imi don't want to drop feed so will say first I'm on pregablin and escitlopram (175mg and 20mg).
I feel tired all the time. I do take vitamins.
All I can think of is sleeping. I have about 7 hours sleep a night.
I have two days we're I only work half a day and I fall asleep so deeply nothing wakes me and I I do wake I go straight to sleep again. Ibe missed collecting the children from school three times.
Today my dh let me sleep til 9.30 (he woke me) I then nodded off at 3 30. Woke at 4.30 and husband asked me if I would stay awake. I don't rememember this but next thing being woken at 5.30. I still feel shattered now.
I get that feeling when I'm awake like when you trip up just before you fall asleep.
Please advise me on what would help as I'm worried

A few things come to mind. Thyroid issues, peri-menopause, vitamin deficiency.

The side effects of both of those medications are feeling sleepy, tired & drowsiness.

What time did the G.P say to take them, Have you tried changing the times and see if that helps?

How long have you been on your meds?

Pregabalin can cause sleepiness and generally feeling zoned out for sure.
