The 10 Causes of Exhaustion (Fatigue) ~ Dr. Eric Berg

The real simple thing that very few people do actually, but let's take it from the top.

There are so many people out there right now on medications that are tired, that are not connecting the dots.

In fact, I don't even know of one medication that doesn't give you fatigue or lethargy or some type of lowered energy as a side effect, okay? They all cause you to be tired because they inhibit or stimulate...

neurotransmitters, which are kind of like hormone little communications in your nervous system.

So especially if you're on antidepressants or anti-anxiety medication or high blood pressure medication, those definitely will make you tired.

Now, I'm not telling you to come off your medication, but get with your doctor and see if you can do something more natural.

Because if you're trying to fix one problem and it gives you another problem, it's not worth it.
