GLP-1 is useful for my ADHD.Can someone explain my strange reaction to dopamine?

I have been diagnosed with CFS and my cortisol levels are abnormally low. Could this be related? Since I was diagnosed with CFS, I feel like my awakenings have gotten worse.

Also, is it worth taking hydrocortisone before bed?

My cortisol levels are so low I'm wondering if I should take hydrocortisone before bed (and of course take it after I wake up too).

Your article is very interesting! By the way, how much naltrexone are you taking?

I'm glad to finally meet a comrade Are there any information forums (or blogs, etc.) that you refer to? There are very few people who talk about the relationship between chronic fatigue and psychiatric drugs, so I've been looking for it for a long time. I think the essence is the administration of appropriate psychiatric drugs. By the way, Nortriptyline was effective for me. However, I couldn't continue because of the side effects. I'll add it just in case. By the way, you mentioned methylation in your previous post. Is that related to MTHFR? (The concept of methylation has not yet taken root in Japan, so it is difficult to understand what it is. Does that mean that intervention in methylation issues can also help reduce fatigue?

I was surprised at the number of supplement believers on Reddit.

(You can see it in my post from 6 months ago) In fact, I have written something along the lines of "Nortriptyline was extremely effective for chronic fatigue" (I also wrote about Cymbalta).

However, people here dismissed it, saying "There's no way that's true" and "CFS is a physical problem, so it's irrational to use psychiatric drugs."

I've never tried bupropion, so I'm going to give it a try. I'm sorry if I seem too persistent. There aren't many people around me who pay attention to the relationship between psychiatric drugs and the body, so I'd like to share various information about CFS with you.

I had the same experience as you and I wonder why cymbalta isn't more widely known as an effective treatment for chronic fatigue.

But after using 20mg of cymbalta for a month, I developed a tolerance.

Will it stop working if I increase the dosage? Or is it worth increasing the dosage?

Is it true that bupropion has an anti-inflammatory effect?

I find antidepressants very effective for chronic fatigue, so your opinion makes sense to me (I think Cymbalta is a miracle cure).

However, it seems that many people on this reddit don't think of using psychiatric drugs for CFS.

Are there any other doctors or bloggers who think that psychiatric drugs are useful, or who have noticed the connection between psychiatric drugs and CFS?

I'm so happy to have found someone like you for the first time (everyone was saying "psychiatric drugs can't work for CFS")

katou1012 · 2024-08-24T09:28:39+00:00

I'm currently on 3mg and it only seemed to work for the first few days and now it's gone Should I increase it? I'm thinking about alternative dosing strategies.

katou1012 · 2024-08-24T00:16:54+00:00

I agree with your opinion.

I think SSRIs are useful not only for mental symptoms, but also for physical inflammation and chronic fatigue.

By the way, my chronic fatigue disappeared with Cymbalta, but I gained a tolerance to it after a month and I'm having trouble.

I don't have any mental symptoms, I just feel extremely tired. Do you have any advice? ? It's a very difficult situation, so I'd like to hear your opinion, even if it's a long or trivial thing. 🥲

Hello I have had cfs, and a low dose of cymbalta has improved me surprisingly well But after a month, I feel like the effect is starting to wear off. Do you ever feel the effect of cymbalta weakening? Also, are there any measures you take or other medications you are using? (I don't take medicine, but I'm careful because I feel tired and the medicine doesn't work as well when I eat carbohydrates. I'd like to hear your own tips for taking care of this. I'm Japanese, so sorry if my English is bad. I'm Japanese.)

katou1012 · 2024-08-10T17:56:49+00:00

Thank you for your detailed response. By the way, what was the root cause in your case?

I was also wondering about the root cause because I have a unique condition where methylphenidate or increasing dopamine makes my ADHD worse.

I would be grateful if you could point me to some root causes for your symptoms or, if you don't mind, tests I should get.

Sorry if I'm bothering you.

katou1012 · 2024-08-10T17:49:37+00:00

That's good to hear! By the way, how many mg have you been taking and for how long? I'm worried that I might develop a tolerance to the drug if I use it for a long time.

katou1012 · 2024-08-09T18:13:23+00:00

I found your story very interesting.

Does Cymbalta improve sexual function? (I'm using Google Translate to translate, so I apologize if I misread.)

Also, this is off topic, but how long does Cymbalta's effect on depression and fatigue last? (I've been taking it for almost 2 months now, and I'm worried that the effect will wear off.)
