What specifically is Wellbutrin? I have seen alot of messages but wondered what kind of med it was. Thanks so much for responding!
> > > I started in Celexa 4 weeks ago. I have had major problems with fatigue and lethargy. I tried Prozac a year ago and found pretty much the same results. I have found mimimal relief for the depression. I also have had hypothyroidism for the last 10 years. We are also adjusting my synthroid levels. Is there any other meds out there that will help without the fatigue and give me my energy back?Christine,
I was taking wellbutrin for depression/fatigue and Adderall for ADD. I Recently switched to Celexa and Adderall.Family and co-workers noticed a dramatic improvement almost imedeately (It took me longer to recognize); However, I too was having EXTREME fatigue (it is very hot were I work, one day I all but passed out - almost quit my job because of the experience). A friend who is also taking Celexa suggested taking it at night. No more fatigue. Taking Adderall before my feat hit the floor in the morning helps.
I don't know if this is related or not, I'm not familiar with thyroid problems...
I have overactive sweat glands as well as fatigue. Realizing the danger of dehydration I've been drinking tons of water. I recently found out that I've been depleating my electrolytes through stress, sweat and heavy water intake. I've started drinking Sports drinks (ie... Gatorade, Powerade) instead of water when I'm working. I think there has been improvement in my energy, but it's a little early to tell (a lot of changes at once). I definately feel much more refreshed than drnking plain water.
I hope something here is of help to you.
