exhaustion and oversleeping
I’ve been on concerta for around 2 months now. I was on 18mg up until around 3 weeks ago. 18mg made me feel foggy and tired so my doctor upped my dose to 36mg. I’m absolutely exhausted now. I’ve been sleeping 12-14 hours every night. if I set an alarm to get up earlier i either sleep through it or wake up and can’t keep my eyes open cause i’m so exhausted. I wake up at around 2pm, anything before that is impossible, and it takes me 1-2 hours to actually get out of bed. I’ve been trying to fix this issue since I started 36mg but no matter how much self discipline I have, I still can’t get up earlier. I feel better for a few hours after I take my meds but once it hits 6pm i’m struggling to even think cause i’m so tired. Before I started medication I had the opposite problem, i’d go days without sleeping or stay up till morning. It’s like I just went from one extreme to the other. I’ve never seen anyone else talk about this so I just want to know if anyone else has experienced this? And if you have, did anything help?
