Summary

A Reddit user with fatigue started a drug, prescribed by their doctor, around mid-July 2024. Within five days they had debilitating headaches and migraines that NSAIDs did not relieve, and they planned to stop the drug before they could learn whether it helped their fatigue. No other treatment or change in their condition was reported.
