Can to much antacids on a daily basis end up making me tired? i take several a day. one bottle a month.

No: I don't know of any reason why it should be making you tired. 2 things to know, however, are that one, you can overdose on antacids, since they all contain various minerals that your body can get too much of if you're taking that many antacids, and two, if you're going through that many per month, you need to see a GI doctor to make sure something more serious isn't going on.
