Suggest Treatment For Tiredness While On Lantus And Levothyroxine
Question: I take the following medications and I can't stay awake. Lantus, Humalog, Hydrocodine/APAP, Levothyroxine, Amlodipine Besytate, Pravastatin, Hydrochlorothiazide, Losartan Potassium, Citalopram, Pantoprazole Sodium, Vitamin D3, Vitamin C, Iron, Lactaid tabs, and tums. How do I keep from being so tired?
Brief Answer:
I think it is the Pravastatin. It leads to muscle weakness.
Detailed Answer:
Hi welcome to health care magic,
I think it is the Pravastatin. It leads to muscle weakness.
Please try Co enzyme Q 10--it will help. And also ask your doctor to lower Pravastatin dose if possible.
Secondly get your serum electrolytes done. Imbalance in serum sodium and potassium may also be a cause.
Check your thyroid functions to make sure levels are OK.
I agree with your doctor. As it is you are on too many medications. I would not like to add testosterone in any form--even herbal.
Please revert back.
Regards
