In reply to Any SSRI's work for you? Seriously Thanks, posted by Phillipa on August 5, 2013, at 12:14:40
No psychiatric medication that I've taken other than Nardil has significantly reduced the severity of my chronic fatigue, hypersomnia, and related symptoms for more than a few days at a time. Before the onset of my psychosis, the SSRIs that I took seemed to create a pattern of rapid cycling, which went away after I discontinued the medications. Now SSRIs just seem to make my fatigue, hypersomnia, and related symptoms worse. Nardil did help for longer than a few days, but I had all kinds of problems getting the medication to keep working (which I've written extensively about in the past), and I eventually stopped taking the medication after I received what was likely a bad batch of it back in June 2006. I'm currently doing ok on a supplement that I've been taking for three weeks now (and I'm not quite ready to disclose what the supplement is), but I think that the likelihood of this supplement having lasting effects isn't very favorable, given the fact that every supplement that's helped me in the short term eventually became ineffective.
