Summary
A Reddit user who linked their CFS to the Epstein-Barr virus described low mood and waking unrefreshed in posts from July and August 2020, and said various SSRIs gave only moments of success without feeling groundbreaking. Fish oil helped their mood and energy a lot and powdered magnesium at night suited them. Late-night eating made the next day worse.
