In reply to ADs and sleepiness., posted by Janet from Brazil on February 16, 2000, at 10:13:49
> I suffer from dysthymia with chronc fatigue. All the ADs I've taken , including Reboxetine,Welbutrin and now Parnate have exacerbated the tiredness. Right now I can barely keep my eyes open. My doc. says this is unusual. Can anyone tell me what is going on? Thanks Jan
I can't tell you whats going on, but I can certainly relate. Makes you feel useless and helpless.
You might want to try a drug like Provigil(Modafranil/Adrafranil). These drugs are used for narcalepsy but I believe I read somewhere they can be beneficial for fatigue associated with depression.
I haven't tried them yet myself, but am keeping them in mind if my next strategy (stimulants) doesn't help me.
Also get tested for anemia/thyroid/etc.Best of luck to you,
