Summary
Fox 20756 has long COVID alongside OCD, ADHD, bipolar II and anxiety, and reports constant anxiety, memory problems since the infection, and permanent exhaustion with daytime sleepiness and hard mornings. Fluvoxamine, increased from 50 mg to 100 mg, brought no significant benefit. Buspirone at 15 mg twice a day left anxiety bad, with plans to wean off, and Provigil did not help the daytime sleepiness.
