tired

What are some things that may cause a person to be excessively tired all the time? The person is on 15mg of prozac and drinks alot of coffee. If you have any input please let me know.

Re: tired

What kind of work does the person do?

Do they have children?

Do they do any kind of exercise on a regular basis?

You're not giving us much to go on.

Re: tired

this person may actually be dehydrated due to the caffeine in the coffee. replacw the coffee with clear water and some juices and see what happens in 2 to 3 days. good luck. i have found also a low salt intake to be a problem with many patients. be careful though if you over do salt it is very dangerous. be moderate in your approach.
