Anyone suffering from total fatique

One symptom that is really driving me crazy is being so tired all the time. I go from bed to the couch everyday because I just have no energy to do anything. I know that I am depressed, but this is really getting me down, especially when I read on here of buddies biking and going to the gym. What can I do to get some energy, or is this just part of this nightmare? When do you start getting your energy back?

Hi Jaddy,

Sorry to hear you're suffering with this symptom. I know long standing fatigue because I have Fibro/CFS, I've been bedridden pretty much for a couple of years. If you are otherwise healthy (besides your withdrawal), if you can, I would suggest trying to do some physical activity-whatever you can manage. A short walk, a light stretching video, etc. If you are fatigued but not too weak, if you can physically do it, that would be the first thing I would try. The more we lay around, the harder it gets to get going again. It will help your depression too.
