Why Do I Feel Exhausted Even After A Good Night's Sleep ?

Im always exhausted no matter what. i am 23 and a mother of a 4 year old and a 2 year old but i dont think thats it. no matter how much sleep i get at night i always and still so exhausted and irratable throughout the day. I am taking lexapro as well. Ive been told my hormones might be unbalanced after kids and my mother mentioned something about a thyroid problem?

Hi there,
welcome to healthcare magic.If you are on Lexapro(Escitalopram), then its true it causes fatigue, somnolence,nausea as its side effects, although the percentage of these effects is less than 5-6%.Yes, your mother could be right. So pl get the thyroid profile done. And pay a visit to an endocrinologists' office
