Hi Chele7, First thing the doc did was go over meds that I'm on; she agreed what had been previously prescribed. She added Cymbalta, an SSRI, because there is some indication that in long-COVID/Chronic Fatigue serotonin is depleted. Unfortunately, I found out I couldn't take Cymbalta, not even at the lowest dose available. I had insomnia with halucinations and then diarrhea. I 'm just now recovering from that drill so at this point, we've tried one med which didn't work, not for me.

Thanks for taking the time and energy to reply.
I’ve tried a couple SSRIs myself and couldn’t tolerate them either. I’m glad you have a doctor that is at least knowledgeable about LC and willing to work with you.
Hopefully you WILL find some things that help. Good luck!
