Summary

A Reddit user with long COVID and OCD reported ongoing general fatigue but did not describe how far their activity was limited. Memantine gave positive results within a few weeks with no notable side effects. Luvox, started for OCD after the long COVID diagnosis, did not help the long COVID symptoms, and testosterone (Jatenzo, an oral pill) brought no reduction in fatigue after about three months.

Their path

They say too little about how ill they were at each step to draw it on the severity scale, so the steps are listed as they describe them. Dates are when they posted.
