> First time poster, reader for about a month. Any thoughts on this matter would be appreciated. Have been battling depression for about 3 years now. In addition to depression, I have fatigue and cognitive difficulties (concentration, reading, etc). Remeron + Buspar + T4 takes care of the depression but the fatigue/cognitive problems remain. I've tried several agents which speed up the normal person including Wellbutrin, Ritalin, Paxil, Prozac and Parnate (by itself). I have found that these types of drugs actually drain what energy I have and make the cognitive problems worse.

> Have others with similar symptoms experienced similar results with these categories of drugs? If so, what other drugs worked?Welcome to the board Jon,
I used to have fatigue and cognitive problems which medication has taken care of. I would like to steer you to a website that describes something they call 'brain fatigue' in those with polioencephalitis. Now I know you don't have polioencephalitis, but the symptoms they describe here are shared by others including some of those with chronic fatigue syndrome. I also had symptoms like they describe. Anyway, I want you to take a look at the website below. If after having looked at it you think the symptoms roughly match yours, just post me back here and I can give you some medication strategies.
