> Hi Tabitha, depression is relentless, isn't it? If you haven't tried Provigil or Nuvigil, it's a great idea. I don't do very well without a simulant, and I tolerate Nuvigil (or Provigil) very well, and it's made a significant difference. No cure, but you know.
I've considered it. I brought it up with my pdoc once but he wanted to try something else. I'll try again in the future if my fatigue doesn't improve once I get my depression under control again.

> I find thyroid and vit d help, as does sublingual vit b12, and they work synergistically for me. Have you ever tried cytomel (t3)? That helps some people even if they do not have a thyroid problem.Yes, I used cytomel for a couple years after first getting it as an augment to AD. It helped my energy and clarity of thinking. I couldn't get a reputable doctor to keep me on it though. My pdoc quit using it due to safety concerns.

> My dx is bpll and it sucks sucks sucks along with fatigue profound enough to have a bunch of tests for cfs. I send a virtual hug if that's ok and a dose of courage. Sunlight, too, which reminds me of lightboxes. Have you tried one?
>Thanks for the encouragement. I tried a light visor once, didn't notice much effect. Fatigue is miserable, isn't it? I feel like I'm lucky to have 3-4 hours per day when I can accomplish anything.
The pdoc just put me back on cymbalta, which helps pain, so I plan to start exercising again. I think that helped quite a bit when I was doing it.
