Yes, my remaining symptoms definitely are similar (fatigue, cognitive deficits (reading, concentration and word recall)). It is interesting that my mental problems did start following a bout with mono. Perhaps there is a connection, maybe just a coincidence.
I did get an immediate and significant boost from Wellbutrin and Adderall (I forgot to mention that I've tried that one too) which lasted for anywhere from 10 to 14 days then I declined significantly, feeling worse on the meds. Got a smaller boost from Ritalin and Parnate, each lasting a few days.
I welcome your thoughts on treatments. Again, I'm currently taking Remeron 30 mgs p/day + T4 + Buspar. I believe that the T4 and Buspar are hyping the Remeron benefits.
