What Causes Excessive Sleepiness And Fatigue?

I have been very sleepy, tired for about one year, at first I thought I just needed sleep, but I got a job recently and I only lasted three weeks, they said the job end Ed but I think it was because I was always tired. No matter how much I slept. I also have been on methadone for a few months and I thought, maybe my dose is to high ,I m on 65 but my counselor say s my neck looks puffy, and I have gained a lot of weight. My nose feels stuffed and I snore loud. I have sighness problems and athsma but that was never a big problem, can someone help me? Lisa Cabral

Hi,

As you say you are taking methadone so due to that you likely have sll those symptoms. It can cause restlessness, drowsiness, breathing difficulty. I suggest you report to your physician first for change of dosage and may be you need to substitute it. In order to stay healthy and active take morning walk, avoid eating junk foods and take plenty of liquids.

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