Psychiatric Medications Can Make You Tired Or Nervous

For many with mental illness, being on helpful psychiatric medications are a must. Lots of people with this terrible illness can't survive without them.

Furthermore, some people on psychiatric meds have to be put on more than one pill. They need to be on two or more medications at the same time.

As many who are on more than one psych pills can tell you, being on lots of meds can often make you sleepy. I've been on pills that have made me sleepy much of the time back in the day.

However, I've also been on lots of pills at the same time that had the opposite effect. Instead of them making me tired, it made me nervous...real nervous.

And to make matters worse, the pills made my hands tremor badly every time I got anxious.

In order to be on the right pills for mental illness, you must be on medication(s) that don't make you sleepy for much of the day, and you must be on pills that don't make you a nervous wreck either. And their are pills out there that can help you emotionally without making you tired or anxious, fortunately.

So don't settle for anything less!

I completely agree. But the process of finding that “perfect solution” can be exhausting.
