What Is The Cause For Energy Loss After A Long Sleep When On Anxiety Pill And Lithium?

I am on Lithium 900mg a day, lorazepam 2mg, risperidal 1mg, synthroid.112mg, quenintipine .5mg x2, and another anxiety pill doctor just started me on last year. I feel better with the medication except that after sleeping for 6-7 hours I am extremely tired all day long. I have no energy at all and just want to crawl under a rock. My energy level is non existent. I have taken oral vitamins but they don't seem to work.

Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
It seems the sedation does needs to be adjusted. You are on lorazepam, quetiapine and another anxiety pills which are all sedating and that needs to be changed. Probably if you are sleeping well then the lorazepam may be withdrawn.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
In future if you wish to contact me directly, or want to know further about the same query, you can use the below mentioned link:
