Suggest Treatment For Tiredness While On Klonopin For Agoraphobia

I am prescribed klonopin and celexa for agoraphobia. Then 50mcg patch fentenyl for gastoparesis uncontrolled attacks. Then topomax and elavil for 25 years of migraines. I hate feeling tired and listlessness all the time. I want to get off my sofa and do something. What do you recommended? Caffeine? Vitamins? Just please keep in mind my prescribed medicines have my symptoms mostly under control.

Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

I am sorry to know that the prescription medications causing tiredness and fatigue while controlling the symptoms. Considering the effectiveness of medications I feel following options can be explored.
1. Vitamin D as it helps in cognition and mood symptoms in addition to physical symptoms.
2. Mdafinil- This is a prescription only medication which can control most of your symptoms resulting from various medications. I generally recommend 100 mg in the morning and get good results in most individuals with similar presentation.

I hope this helps you.
Feel free to write back to me if you have more questions.
Thanks again.

3. Caffeine is another option but I feel it should be limited as there are chances for drug to drug interaction.

I hope this helps you.
