I take Zoloft 100 mg. X 23 years for depression and suicidal ideation which works great for me though last year when long Covid started, I was very depressed and was weaned up to 200 mg & then when I was diagnosed with long Covid last August, I weaned back down to 100 mg because I had an answer to my health issues which was a relief. My husband is allergic to all SSRIs and SNRIs so that may be your issue. I take Xanex .5 mg to go to sleep which works for me. I take LDN 6 mg daily and it has relieved some symptoms. I go to PT 3x/ week which has definitely helped a lot physically but I still sleep at least 10-12 hours daily. I have 6 different doctors, but my primary is the best. She looks at everything, not just one area. So that’s me.
I am very concerned that you only weigh 89 pounds and are so weak . In my opinion, you need to be admitted ASAP, hopefully to a teaching hospital, and tell them what you have told us. Speak up and demand help. Refuse to go home. You can’t go on like this and need a coordinated workup especially with a rheumatologist. Please get help!!

2 yrs ago I was done to 89 lbs and asked my Doctor to admit me to the hospital. All they did was run and MRI of the brain, sent in a physiatrist (my primary branded me as having anxiety/depression) and next day they kicked me out and told me to follow up with my primary. I can't get help anywhere.

I have the worst primary who doesn't care, even when I asked him to support me and connect me with LT Covid clinics. He told me go to ER in town.
