Extreme tiredness and lethargy - is there any medication that help with this? It's stopping me living my life

Hi

Has anyone found any medication that can relieve extreme tiredness and lethargy?  I am finding that I am getting so exhausted that it is stopping me living my life. Thank you

  • Hi I have same problem Immunotherapy has extended my llife expectancy but I get so tired I cannot make the most of those extra days. Eating a well balanced diet, forcing yourself to do some excercise like walking swimming, avoiding too much alcohol or caffeine, regular bedtime and getting up time all seem to help. There is a drug called Modafinal which is prescribed for narcolepsy which can help but you would need to discuss this with a sympathetic GP. I think the non drug route is the best.
