Why am I so tired? Medication
Average rating:
6. Are you on medication?
There are a lot of tablets and pills that can make you drowsy. A lot of antihistamines in particular warn you not to operate heavy machinery
Many of us don't automatically link the two, even if it does say so in the side effects so if you're on medication this could be making you tired. Or it might be a mixture of tablets which on their own wouldn't affect you but together they might.
Have another look at the leaflets you get with tablets to check and if you're worried have a chat with your doctor who might be able to suggest a solution.
