I live in on the south side of Wisconsin. I've seen so many Doc's and specialists all to no avail and told the same thing, "we don't treat LT Covid." I was even at Mayo! Unfortunately, left to only see an internal MD at Mayo who was terrible and of no help. I've been doing it and fighting for 3 long years ago with so many Doctors, unbelievable number of tests to include spinal tap (awful) MRI's, CT, Scans, Ultrasounds, tons of blood work, all to no avail.
I would love to find someone who is knowledgeable about treating LT Covid. I know I need medication for the unbelievable anxiety/depression which is off the charts. I just tried Zoloft which made things worse.
That's why I'm interested in knowing what others are taking for anxiety/depression. I realize meds will differently for everyone, but there might be a common denominator.
Yesterday and today is such a terrible day, I don't know how I can continue like this. I'm literally withering away at 90 lbs.
Hugs & Love to all

Please, please do not consider taking what anyone else has taken. You didn’t respond to an SSRI, which is from the “most prescribed” class of psych meds. You need someone to help you! Can you reach out to John’s Hopkins? My fave has been mt Sinai in ny.
I don’t know what your situ is, but please. If you $$$ can you need to see a private psychiatrist. He needs to get you help. You must see a nutritionist! They need to help you. Take the long Covid down to its parts: weight and depression, and treat those first.
If you have a child/neice/ good friend— hav them help you find someone. This is your very life we are talking about! No expense is too much. See a private psychiatrist, get a recommendation for someone good. Then go! Please. Try to find a nutritionist that works in or with a functional medicne doctor. Functional Med doctors look at things from a different perspective. Please do not give up! I’ve had this since 3/20, and I DO know how awful it can be and how hopeless it can seem!!
