I had this happen to me and finally got checked out. I also had muscle aches, bone pain in the winter, ate to get energy-- turned out to be a vitamin D deficiency. Sometimes we MTs don't get out enough. Lol. Go to the doc (or NP in my case), tell them your symptoms. I had to go on a hefty dose for 2 weeks to start feeling better but WOW. My appetite is totally back to normal too and I am not tired all the time. Just something to try.

sleepy time
I have that problem. I only have it with MQ however. I work another MT job and it doesn't seem to bother me. For me it is extreme frustration, boredom, and not caring for my job and not feeling fulfilled. I think for me it is psychosomatic. I sit down here to work and start yawning but I could spend 4 hours in my garden and be wide awake. Are you happy with your job?

made me HUNGRY and SLEEPY
i gained 5 pounds in 2 weeks - could not stop eating, could not stop sleeping. i know 2 other people on it who have gone off of it for those reasons. at first, at the lowest dose, while i was on a tapering dose of lexapro along with the cymbalta, i felt great. when it was just the cymbalta at a higher dose, it bit me. lexapro has worked wonders for me. but everyone has their own response to meds - this is just my experience. only you and your doctor can decide. hope this helps.

I prefer short ones...get sleepy if they are too long
and I have to listen to the dictator drone on and on.

Everyday thing for me. I work till sleepy, then set my SM

phone not my clock to ring. I get about 5 hours every night, have for years.

Tired all the time and sleepy during the day even after an eight hour nights rest. Does anyone else
have this problem? Is it a vitamin deficiency in age 40 and over?
