when i take Avanza, I get really tired, and lethargic.
i sleep much better, but end up zombie-like.
I was wondering if anyone else took this medicine, and the side effects they got?
my doctor put me on a higher dose recently.
iam only 17, im worried, that theres something very wrong with me.
I still feel the need to , and my parents dont seem to care how i feel.

We aren't allowed to discuss self harm here so I had to edit one word out of your post. Hugs, Karen

hi ashleyambulance. yes used it during the day and recently

at night. mitazipine has sedative components in it, thus making you

tired. the zombie bit..........it is different how we are effected by

a medication. maybe a reduction is needed. keep talking with your

doc, oh, just a note, we are not allowed to talk about self-harm.

if this is on-going i feel it important to seek immediate assistance.

with compassion, jamie.

I agree with Jamie,

I think you should talk to somebody about the self harm. But we aren't allowed to discuss it here.

I am sorry that your meds are making you sleepy. It could be your recent change. Hopefully it will go away. If not in a couple of weeks, talk to your doctor about it. You may need an adjustment or a different medication all together.

Have you thought about talking to a school counselor? Or are you already going to counseling? I would highly suggest it if you aren't. You could use the extra support. Know that we here do care and you can always come here too.

I hope that your day gets better.

Hugs, Karen
