What Causes Sleepiness And Weakness Having Neuropathy And Depression?
I am a grade 4/5 teacher and no matter how much sleep I think I get, I feel like I could sleep all day and night and still be tired. I know that Gabapentin for neuropathy, and Fluoxatine for depression are suppose to cause some fatigue, but this much?

HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic
Fluoxetine is a antidepressant and it decrease fatigue. If you are feeling too much fatigue, that may be due to gabapentin. You did not mention the dose of drug and in that case, it is difficult a tell what is causing fatigue in your case. May be due to underline stress, you are feeling so much fatigue. Better to consult your doctor and readjust the dose if you need.
Thanks
