Is any one experiencing this and no matter what you do, the tiredness doesnt want to go away?

I always tired too - but I'm also the mother of an 11 month old baby boy. --so go figure. Have you looked into chronic fatigue syndrome?

yes, I figured the anxiety is likely the reason for the tiredness but I've calmed down a little and i'm still tired. I guess it just takes a while for your body to get back to normal after having constant anxiety for 6 or 8 weeks. I do have an irritated throat that seems like it doesnt want to heal and its been like that for about a month now. Its not sore, its just irritated like and its a little red left and right of my tonsils.

I am always tired too. I go to bed at 10:00 every night and get up at about 7, but I have a VERY hard time getting up. I also am tired enough to still take naps during the day. Sometimes I think it is probably because of the Xanax I take, but everoyne says that should wear off once your body adjusts. I have been on it for two years so you would think i would be adjusted by now. I don't know, I have always been a low energy person and was tired even before I started taking Xanax. Were you tired before you started having anxiety?

gboro, do you have allergies?? just curious, cause you said your throat was a little irritated...............i have allergies, and when they are acting up, i am really tired. Seems like I can't get enough sleep. Allergies affect everyone different. I don't have the usual symptoms........i get sleepy, lightheaded, foggy headed feeling, and i'm usually congested. Hope you feel better soon.........take care
