I would like to discuss possible treatments for chronic fatigue. I'm 23, and have experienced chronic fatigue that has impaired my life. Only recently have I tried anyting that helped. It is Wellbutrin, and I had to actually request it -- no doctor ever tried me on any drug to help my fatigue over these past ten years. I am almost out of the wellbutrin, and have had to decrease the dose because it's too expensive and I only just got insurance. Does anyone have thoughts on why the doctors never tried me on anything for it? It has been so bad that I had to take summer classes in college (because I was too tired to take a full load of classes during the year), and thus have a much bigger college debt than would have been necessary if I could have stayed awake more. Wellbutrin doesn't help with my depression, so I am wondering if there are any treatments for fatigue that may also help depression.
