Hi,
I have the same struggles. Every time I make progress I have a setback. I just had to stop walking on our treadmill. I had worked my way up to 2 miles ( it takes 45 minutes) but today I couldn't even finish one mile.
I am not sure if my fatigue is from radiation ( it has been 7 months out for me), or my cancer drug (alectinib). My doc mentioned an antidepressant for me- But I am going to wait. It is a hard balance and the internal dialogue can bring me down. I am trying to have positive thoughts about the little things I can do- like today I tidied up my daughter's room for 15 minutes. I just made broccoli and it taste good. I feel you- and hope today is good.

Hi
How are you doing. Have things gotten any better. I tried ciprolex but not the medication for me. Had severe abdominal stomach pain. I tried for 3 weeks. So doing my 5htp again but too soon to tell if it's going to give me relief. See the dr in 2 weeks.

Hi
Thanks for sharing it helps knowing others are struggling with the same issues. Been on the antidepressant 3 weeks anxiety calmed in the day but the side effects are horrid. Only on 5mg. Decided to cut down to 2.5 and see my naturopath. I was on 5htp prior to all this stuff it worked well. I havd a good counsellor. I hope you find some help.
