Constantly thirsty/exhausted

I have been extremely thirsty the past few days. My urine is almost always bright yellow, even though I probably drink about 100 ounces of water a day. The only other drink I might have is a cup of coffee or tea in the morning. I always feel thirsty, even after gulping down a bottle of water. This is very out of character for me. I've always had about 100 ounces of water a day, but before my pee was always pale pale yellow. It just changed suddenly. 

Also, I'm very very tired. I think this has a lot to do with not getting enough sleep, but in the past when I haven't gotten enough sleep, I was always able to at least get through the day. Today I was so exhausted I had to take a three hour nap - and this was after only 2 hours of being awake!

There are a lot of factors involved, which is why I'm posting this here. I don't know whether I should be concerned, or whether this thirst/exhaustion is due to other factors. I'm currently in the process of coming off of Zoloft. Right now I'm at 25mg every other day. I'm on ADhD medication (Vyvanse 50mg). I also just finished taking an antibioitc, Alinia, that is supposed to help with my bowl movements. I got the flu shot yesterday. I just started classes last week. And I'm training for a marathon. 

All of these things I just listed definitely can cause exhaustion. But what about the excessive thirst? Is thirst linked to fatigue? 

I googled my symptoms and didn't really find anything other than diabetes. But I got my bloodwork done in July and my blood sugar was normal, so I doubt I have diabetes. 

What do yall think? Should I wait it out another week or so and see what happens? Thanks :)

Go back to your doctor.  Explain what's happening to them.  If you could become a doctor by Googling, everyone would have a medical qualification....  Diabetes is not an on/off condition, for example, but tends to get worse over time.

I agree. Time for a doctor visit. If it weren't for the meds I would say diabetes too (I have it extensively in my family so I'm well aware it can appear normal on one test)

We just can't know enough about those meds. . .and what was the antibiotic for? Maybe that's returned and the symptoms are different because of the decrease in meds.

Good luck!

very similar conditions that I am experiencing, I have no idea what it is, even went to get checked up for bilharzia, malaria but came out as negative.

will watch this to see if anyone has some brain sparks!

But what I am doing is basically listen to my body, if its telling me to sleep more then I sleep more, if I'm thirsty then I drink. Seems to be working so far.

Also taking an immune system booster just to help. (Echinacea, Elderberry and wild olive drops as I am drinking so much water I might as well make it 'good' water! heehee)

Another thought.... 100 ounces is 5 pints?  Which is about 2 litres.  If you're doing a lot of exercise because you're training for a marathon you may need three or four litres of liquid over the course of a day to quench your thirst.  Dehydration alone can cause fatigue.  So maybe drink more water and other fluids and see if that makes a difference.

...Are you taking any vitamins?

I am a diabetic, but I'm pretty good control, and I've noticed I've been much more thirsty than usual lately as I've been increasing my workouts. I drink one cup of coffee in the mornings and sometimes a diet coke in the afternoons, and I drink plenty of water throughout the day.

My friend recommended drinking some gatorade. Especially if you are training for a marathon. You're probably needing the extra electrolytes. If you're sweating a lot, the water is just leaking through your pores without even being absorbed by your body. I started drinking one glass of gatorade after working out and it has helped.
