Hi Karen, Thank you so much for your reply. Actually, I was better before I decided to increase but had some residual OCD that I wanted to clear up. My psychiatrist said SNRI’s increase anxiety...
Hey guys, So everytime I increase my Zoloft, it seems like I go through all of the terrible things I went through all over again, it is so frustrating and so very triggering. I know it’s temporary,...

Thanks you guys. If you don’t mind me asking, Karen-how did the fatigue get better for you? My psychiatrist also tells me it’s PTSD. I do notice it gets worse if I oversleep or wake up frequently (I...
Thanks so much for sharing this with me, that sounds like a very good breakdown. This all started with postpartum and antenatal depression for me, not after a virus. It’s always worse in the early...
Also, the fatigue always always lifts at night. It’s the worst in the early and late afternoon. I had this exact pattern happen when I had depression after my first some years ago, but it always...
Thanks so much for your responses. I can’t link it to anything physical, but this kind of fatigue is only relieved by lying down, too. I’m also on 75 mg Zoloft for a year, and while fatigue was an...
Thanks so much for both of your replies. I have visited a doctor, and my blood work is fine. When it happens it feels very physical. The problem with adderal for me is that I also have panic attacks....

Thanks for your responses, everyone. If appropriate and your physician says it’s okay, it may be worth trying for those suffering from depression, anxiety, fatigue, and adrenal fatigue. If anyone...
Hello, I’m a long time severe anxiety and depression sufferer. I’m on Zoloft, which helps some, but is far from a cure. I recently tried a multivitamin containing ashwaganda and feel like a new...
Hi everyone, I was never diagnosed wih cfs per se, but I have dealt with dibilitaring fatigue due to depression and hormonal imbalance. I recently purchased a vitamin which has helped me so much, but...

So my dr told me to stop taking them because I was getting symptoms of overmedication (racing heart, couldn't sit still, feeling overheated, very anxious and jumpy, and based on my bloodwork....
I should also mention that those numbers reflect my levels after cutting my dose in half- I was only on one grain of naturthroid, and cut down to half....
