In reply to Severe fatigue on TCA + ECT, posted by uncouth on May 17, 2009, at 15:06:16
Hi,
Yes me, I've been taking Clomipramine for about 3 months now. When I got up to 150mg I experienced really bad fatigue, I've lowered it to 100mg but the physical fatigue is very bad. If I try and physically exert myself (like digging in the garden) I have to keep stopping and resting. I feel like an old woman :-)
I have to say when I took 10mg of Zyprexa with the Clomipramine, just now and again, I'm not so physically tired, have quite a lot of energy but Zyprexa always seems to give me energy for some reason which I'm extremely grateful for.
If you haven't tried Zyprexa you should try it, even if it is just one big dose now and again.
I'm really sorry to hear that ECT has not done anything for you, I was hoping that it would. What type of ECT did you have? How big a dose of ECT did they give you each time, do you know?
