What are some things that may cause a person to be excessively tired all the time? The person is on 15mg of prozac and drinks alot of coffee. If you have any input please let me know.

What kind of work does the person do?

Do they have children?

Do they do any kind of exercise on a regular basis?

You're not giving us much to go on.

this person may actually be dehydrated due to the caffeine in the coffee. replacw the coffee with clear water and some juices and see what happens in 2 to 3 days. good luck. i have found also a low salt intake to be a problem with many patients. be careful though if you over do salt it is very dangerous. be moderate in your approach.
