Medications can cause those symptoms, but Chronic Fatigue is also a possibility, especially with HPA axis dysfunction.
You should also have Vitamin D3 and Vitamin B12 levels checked, as well as a CBC and ferritin level. There are a number of reasons for fatigue. You should see a doctor.
Does Motrin or aspirin help the joint pain?
Good luck!

> Ok, so now the tally is that now I can't exercise without joint pain the next day, I can't drink alcohol for the same reason, and now when I get a cold, it wipes me out for days. That's right, I can't work because of a simple head cold. It's not good, considering I'm a teacher. I'm only going to be exposed to more and more colds during the next few months, so this just isn't going to work. I think it's the Lamictal, because I never had this problem when I was only on an SSRI. I take 200 mg of Lamictal, 10 mg of Lexapro, and .50 mg of xanax. I have an appointment soon with the pdoc, so I'll see what he has to say, but I think I want off Lamictal, because this is just unacceptable.
