im always tired
Hey i am a 19/f and for some reason i do get tired a lot. But i've noticed lately i get tired at the same time of the day. I take medicine for ADHD, focalin. And even when it wears out i get tired. But when i don't take it i still get tired the same time of the day like around 1 or 2 in the afternoon. What's wrong with me? I think it has to do with my diet, which consists of fast food, which i've cut down some what. But could there be other reasons possibly? thanks in advanced

The first thing I would do is phone your doctor about your medication. He/she can do a routine blood test to figure out if your dosage is too high.
It sounds as though it is if you feel like a zombie all the time and out on your feet. You shouldn't be this tired. That's not normal and a sign that your levels are way, way off.
Your diet likely isn't the main factor but certainly of concern. You have to find a way to eliminate the urge to eat all that food regularly. Your doctor can help with tips and a meal plan but the grunt work is yours alone.
Also, do you drink a lot of water each day? Medication like this requires that you drink a lot of water as it helps it to regulate and go through your system. Try that too and see if you feel a difference.
Get yourself to a doctor and have your focalin levels checked out. You're getting too much of that or something else that's been prescribed.

If your diet consists primarily of junk it's entirely possible that you're missing something important. The most obvious one would be iron, lack of which can lead to anemia - the most common symptom of which is tiredness. I'd go to the doctor for a blood test; they can tell you if you're anemic and proscribe iron supplements, or let you know if there's something else missing from your diet.

Medications can cause tiredness and drowsiness, If this has been going on for a long period of time I would consult a doctor.
If you are eating unhealthy, Greasy foods, Fried foods, etc. This can also cause tiredness and lack of energy.
What are your sleeping patterns? Do you go to bed at a normal time? Do you wake up at a normal time? If not then you might want to start going to bed earlier and setting your alarm clock.
I don't know to much about you, You didn't give much details but ask yourself if maybe you have signs of depression.
