I take Provigil for my fatigue. Unfortunately it exacerbates my anxiety. Benzos work great for me, unfortunately I'd get addicted.

Exercise helps, walks help, sunlight helps, showers help.

yes, I can relate to this. Right now I feel so sleepy I want to just crawl under my desk and sleep till 5.

what should i look at on that website link

Make SURE you get enough sleep.

I have chronic tiredness as well and my thyroid and immune system are fine.
I do have ADHD though and it isn't being treated.
Might be part of it.
Insomnia as well.

I have always had troubles sleeping since I was little. Usually I only sleep a few hours a night. I had been taking Provigil for a while, but I stopped, because I have GAD and it was making it worse.

Right now I take Trazodone to sleep and it helps alot. Within 30minutes of taking it I can pass out asleep. It's just hard to decide to take it early. I'm so used to staying up, that if I take it too early, I feel like I missed half my night. It also helps with my anxiety, I believe it doubles as a antidepressant/mood stablizer.

Even if I take it at midnight or 1am, I still can get 5hrs of regular sleep and actually stay asleep. For me, that's alot of sleep and it feels great.

Insomniac by night, zombie by day. That's me.

I'll go for days at a time with little or no sleep but when the tiredness does catch up, I have to call in at work sick just to catch up on the sleep when I can. OTOH, I'd rather not be operating the equipment when I'm that tired.

Marijuana -when I can get it- is the only thing I've found so far to manage or get some control over the insomnia. I'll get up and smoke some if I'm not asleep by midnight.
