Hang in there. I,too, felt prematurely old in my mid 40's. Tired, lots of muscle aches and headaches. I was astonished how much of that went away when I went on prozac.
You are self medicating with alcohol and weed. There are better medecines! (The alcohol may be a major contributor to your fatigue).
Don't give up your search for the right combo.. Perhaps consult a psychopharmacologist.

We can help ourselves and let others help, too. I'm with you on this one. Let's stick around til we wear little hats and drive Buicks 30 mph on the freeway.
