Can antibiotics make you tired

I'm currently taking antibiotics and I am tired. It's just my head feels groggy and tired. Even though I am sleeping well and getting plenty of fluids.

There is a leaflet with the antibiotics. I will see of tiredness is a side effect.

Well, an underlying infection can certainly make you tired as your body fights it.

What kind of infection do you have?

I don't think so, but the infection you are taking the antibiotics for might be the cause!
