Hi Ava !! You should definitely consult your psychiatrist, it’s not normal to feel lethargic from your meds. But at the same time, if you’re feeling tired when you don’t take them, you probably do need to be actively taking something for yourself so trying a different medication might help. Or, depending on which medication you were taking and for how long + how high a dosage etc. you may be experiencing withdrawal symptoms from suddenly stopping your meds. Again a psychiatrist can asses the situation much better but this is what I’m getting from what you wrote. Best of luck <3
