Summary
A French Reddit user with chronic fatigue said a new doctor prescribed L-carnitine for four months, with colchicine and low-dose naltrexone as later options. Antidepressant withdrawal was very difficult but left them less fatigued; rhodiola during relapses seemed to help, and they also took magnesium bisglycinate and a mitochondrial support complex. Staying active, getting outside and meditating for five minutes a day helped most.
