Diagnosed With Thalassemia, Blood Count Normal, Gets Tired, Taking Celexa, Lyrica. What To Do?

My red blood count total is fine, although it takes more red blood cells to reach the proper total. My white blood cells are regular size and numerous. Although I have about half the symptoms, I have been diagnosed with thalycemia. I am often extremely tired, and sometimes feel like fainting as I feel like all the blood has been drained from my body. I am taking Vitamin B, Vitamin D and a multivitamin as supplements, as well as Celexa, Lyrica, Xanax and a very old tri-cyclic, Imipramine. These medications are overseen by my psychiatrist and rheumatologist.

If I would be your Doctor then I would certainly advise you to cut down some medicine particularly Tricyclic anti-depressant, if you have history of thalassemia then it necessary to have less drug therapy, multidrug therapy or say polytherapy may some time causes blood dyscrasia and this could be dangerous for condition like Thalassemia take care of your self and have nice day.
