Hello!
Well, personally, I would AVOID celexa/lex if you're suffering from fatigue - I was on Celexa for about a year and a half, and it made me really really really tired all the time. Trouble was, I didn't really realise that it was the drug until I came here and read that apathy, fatigue etc is a really common side effect of celexa. And I didn't have a very big problem with fatigue in the first place. So avoid it like the plague! Anyway, are you overeating as well? It could be (and I'm no doc here) that you have atypical depression (I suffer from it too). Do a google search for atypical depression and see if the symptoms sound like you. CFS isn't made up - it usually follows from a viral infection.
Well, one thing you can for free is to excercise - it will give you more energy in the long run, even if you don't feel it at the time. I would continue to walk the one two miles to school each day (which isn't much really) and maybe do a couple of aerobic sessions too of 30+mins We had a discussion about the benefits of excerise awhile ago on the 'alternative' board a little while back. Use the search box at the bottom of this page, and I'm sure if you type in 'exercise' and 'Meri-Tuuli' you will get some results........
Good luck and kind regards
