classic withdrawl effects- its just the reduction in doseage, and should ease. I had "headrushes" when coming off ad, think its common. if ad are making you tired, why not think about another type?

If they're making you tired perhaps the morning is the wrong time to take them - I wonder if going back to taking them at night time would be better, at least if you're tired when you're in bed it doesn't matter!

Otherwise it's probably just the withdrawal from the tablets that's causing it and it will settle down soon.

Are they still the first type you tried, because if they are then you've been on them for long enough to know whether they're working for you - if they're not then maybe you should think about going back to the GP before the month is up and asking to try a different type.

Just a thought, biglips ... have you had your thyroid tested? Two of the main symptoms of an underactive thyroid are depression and being tired all the time.
