I'm 68 and I still work hard in home health so I do get tired. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia for nearly 30 years osteoarthritis for the last 8. I'm sorry you had such a bad time off it and I'm glad you lived through it.
I told my doctor I fall asleep every day between 4 & 6 he replied good time to take a nap! I sort of agreed but I like to make those decisions myself.
It week 6 now and it's better. I take a short nap after work and have focus and energy to do something and cook super, clean the kitchen etc.
I've had to learn to be patient. I tried other MAIO 's and was a zombie. I find i so better with a SSRI med.
Good Luck
@doane this is not rare at all. The doctors do not admit that it’s dangerous I have had a horrific experience and tapered off after 8 years of that poison

How did you taper off and how long? Mine is giving me too much brain zaps so I want to get off them.
