Suggest Treatment For Tiredness And Sleepiness After Drinking Coffee

Whenever I drink caffeinated coffee I get very sleepy. I m currently also taking prozac for depression. I maybe have one coffee a week. Today I had espresso around noon. Immediately after I had the coffee I got very sleepy, very similar to the feeling after having 4-5 alcoholic drinks, only without the euphoria. Tired, confused, dizzy, slowed down. Though I haven t had any more today, it seems to be getting worse. Now, 7 hours later, I am thinking about going to the hospital. What should I do?

Hi,

The first thing you to do is stop drinking the coffee even if you do not drink coffee it won't make any difference, and you better know that drinking coffee making you sleepy then better not to drink the coffee.

You are having some functional factors. So just be patience and try to come out of depression and everything will be fine in my opinion no need to go to the hospital.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
