Hi everyone. I have been sober for 3 weeks off meth but I feel awful, I've been diagnosed with depression and just started antidepressants last week. I'm just wondering if it is normal to still feel exhausted. Everything I do requires so much effort. I'm worried that I'm going to use because I'm tired of feeling so lazy. Does it get better? Thanks for any information you can share.

Yes it is pretty normal! It will take some time for your body to recover... just be patient! I am soooo proud of you hardy... I really am. You are doing great by dealing with your addiction. It inspires me. I can tell you that it definately does get better! Keep with it girl!

hardy, are you going to NA meetings?

Yes, it certainly gets better if you commit to a recovery program.

All the best.

I think it's very normal to be exhausted Hardy - hang in there - it passes and things get better - whatever you do don't turn around and go back the way you came....

I'm so glad to hear of your progress - keep it up

I'm proud of you, Hardy!

Wow, 3 weeks is awesome! I was tired for a long time. I did a lot of damage to my body. Let yourself heal and be gentle on yourself!!

Love,

Most meth users sleep the whole first week. Congratulations on the three weeks! Take it easy and sleep if you need to, don't stress yourself out

The antidepressants may be causing you to be tired. I am on a week taking mine and all I want to do is sleep. It does take some time for the body to adjust so please do not stop taking them. Of coarse if you are concerned, please call your doctor. Hang in there Hardy, 3 weeks is awesome. I am so proud of you. :ghug3
