What Causes Extreme Fatigue While On Tramadol And Methocarbamol?
Is escitalopram safe? My doctor recently prescribed it as I was complaining of extreme fatigue. He said that I was depressed. If I am depressed I would rather try an alternative like, going back to yoga, exercise and meditation as I do not like to take drugs. I am currently taking Tramadol and Methocarbamol at night due to back surgery last August.

Hello
Thank you for trusting HCM
Dear methocarbamol may cause generalized weakness and drowsyness.
escitlopram also in few people may cause drowsy ness. If you don't want to take escitlopram means ok no problem.
But maitain pain killers. Do yoga and meditation may improve your symptoms.
avoid spicy food and alcohol, avoid smoking.
If you feel more drowsy please consult your doctor he will examine and advice alternate medicine for you.
Take care
