Re: Fatigue

[Guest guest]

,

Early last year, I became sufficiently depressed to again try

antidepressents. Incidently, that was about the same time I joined

this group :-). After trying others meds with HORRIBLE side effects,

Wellbutrin worked. Before I took it last spring, I could barely get

up in the morning whether or not I got a good night's sleep the night

before.

Now, I'd say that though there are still some days when I have the

bone tired feeling, they're far fewer than last winter/spring before

I started Wellbutrin. I always thought that it had to do with not

being so depressed...So, perhaps this idea has merit. Even with this

latest pneumonia, I've been doing pretty well fatigue-wise. Knock on

wood! (And btw, I should downgrade the pneumonia to bronchitis

according to my doctor yesterday. The radiologist who saw the X-ray

didn't agree w/ the ER doc that it was pneumonia, but I've never had

bronchitis like this.)

I am tired now, so I hope this makes sense...

Anne,

What is the purple energy drink venom? I, too suffer from fatigue from all my

drugs so try to drink coffee while I am working but it doesn't always work well

and I know isn't the best for me health wise.
