Hi...
I was diagnosed with severe OCD about three months ago, but I've shown symptoms since I was about three-years-old (unfortunately, none of my doctors caught it). After having tried several medicines, I'm now on 100mg of Zoloft and 1/2mg of Risperdal. I also have Klonopin, which I'm supposed to take as needed (also 1/2mg). The problem is, I can't get up in the morning and by the time I do, I feel SO tired. I sleep well at night, but I have really weird dreams. I also get crazy flashbacks to dreams I've had from years ago. When I tell the doctor about how tired I am, they don't seem to really want to change my medicines. I'm just really frustrated and sick of being tired all the time. I'm trying hard to stay away from caffeine, but sometimes I slip and drink a cup of tea or a soda so I can get a little boost. Is this normal with these drugs?
Any insights will be GREATLY appreciated!!!!
Thank you!
