Summary
Badger 70450 described having ME/CFS, with PEM and bad days that kill everything, and no joy in life. They took Abilify at 2.5 mg, which they said did not help their mood, and nicotine patches, which left them feeling depressed. Sertraline, taken for about two days, brought on anxiety they had not had before. They were looking for something to lift their mood.
