Re: Medication Issues? - March 26th 2010, 11:59 PM

Looking at the list, you've got several medications that can and usually do knock you out to some degree: citalopram, seroquel and fioricet (due to the barbituate properties from one of its ingredients). Citalopram and seroquel can both function as controlling mood and anxiety, and seroquel is also useful as an anti-psychotic but both knock you out, especially seroquel. Fioricet has a barbituate as one of its ingredients (although has a bit of caffeine in it also presumably to counteract some of the barbituates), it may do some tiredness although probably not as much, especially since you take it only as needed.


Fioricet also has some pain-killing properties although nowhere near as potent as vicodin.

I'd ask your doctor if you really need citalopram especially if you're experiencing tiredness without it.
