Can a uti make you this freaking exhausted?

Holy crab sticks, not even my ADHD meds are keeping me awake during the day.

I still haven't finished the course of the antibiotics, but the pain is gone, which is great,
And I feel pretty normal, other than this fatigue,
Dayum...

I hope this fatigue goes soon :c

Infections and medications can cause that. Hope it gets better quick.

My ADD meds didn't do shit today ether, I feel you.

@RosaMarie yeah, I just worry that I'm developing a tolerance to my ADHD meds and they don't work anymore :c

@Fishy I stop mine for a weekend or two a month. And any time I'm on vacation.

Fishy · 36-40, F

@RosaMarie yeah, I asked my psychiatrist back in April about med breaks, and she said "not yet" and then mentioned that there isn't a tolerance thing...
Tbh, she's kinda hard to figure out 😅

I see her again next month, I'ma gonna ask her about it again 😶

@Fishy I'm on Vyvanse and definitely benifit from breaks.

Fishy · 36-40, F

@RosaMarie yeah, I'm on vyvanse too...

What's it like when you take a break from it?
I heard some people feel really trashy when they take a break from it?

@Fishy let me start by saying I'm only on 30 mg, which is a fairly low dose. I am okay off of it. I just can't do Focus work like paperwork. As long as I have something to do with my hands or a task like cooking or cleaning I'm fine. But ask me to sit in front of a computer for a few hours and I am totally hopeless.

@Fishy I'll add that I am more tired. Obviously it's a stimulant so not having it is noticeable.

Fishy · 36-40, F

@RosaMarie I'm on 40mg 😬

@Fishy I didn't ask my doc. I saw it staring to be less helpful and took it upon myself. That's probably bad advice, but it's what I did and still do. My Doc is aware that I do this. But I most definitely asked forgiveness and not permission.
