In reply to Chronic fatigue and ADs?, posted by Liza on April 18, 2000, at 12:09:23
Dear Liza,
Your not alone. I have had chronic fatigue and serious depression ever since 6th grade with a major manic episode 5 years ago. Until 5 years ago I treated my condition with drugs and alcohol. Didn't work out to good. Since then, with much support from friends, family, AA, Alanon, meds, and doctor, my depression has gotten much better. I've taken Tegretol with and SSRI for five years. Unfortunately the chronic fatigue has gotten worse. Sometimes its managable, but often it affects all areas of my life and contributes to my depression as is the case right now. I am going to try an SNRI. Sounds promising for people like us with the understanding that there are no magic solutions. Having a spiritual program and emotional support have been critical in helping me accept and treat my condition. Don't lose hope.
