Hi Jake. My name is Todd and this is my first interaction with Mayo group so, Hi y'all. Jake, You said a few things and reading some of the replies got my attention. I won't get into my issues and I hope this is all confidential. I take 300mg twice a day but I used to take more. But Doc lowered it and added celecoxib (celebrex) 200mg 1x per day , pregabalin 300mg 2x per day, duloxetine (cymbalta) 60mg 3x per day, and penicillin 500mg 3x per day. Also some unrelated pills for normal things.
That said, I'm tired most of the time because I don't get a lot of sleep. When I stop moving, I fall asleep. I fell asleep in the dentist chair getting a root canal. No joke. So it is hard to say if it is the drugs.
You said the doctors say or think you had Lymes disease, I think? I have found that doctors are way too busy to do research on my behalf, but, I was fortunate to find a doctor who, if I find something that I think might be relevant, I can send it to him to look into so by my next appointment we can discuss it. I think I blabbed on enough. Good luck and happy hunting. T

Sounds like an awful lot of medication and why penicillin which is an antibiotic. I would get a second opinion on this medication combo.
