> > I suffer from dysthymia with chronc fatigue. All the ADs I've taken , including Reboxetine,Welbutrin and now Parnate have exacerbated the tiredness. Right now I can barely keep my eyes open. My doc. says this is unusual. Can anyone tell me what is going on? Thanks Jan

> You might want to try a drug like Provigil(Modafranil/Adrafranil). These drugs are used for narcalepsy but I believe I read somewhere they can be beneficial for fatigue associated with depression.
> I haven't tried them yet myself, but am keeping them in mind if my next strategy (stimulants) doesn't help me.
