Summary
A Reddit user posting in r/chronicfatigue said they were still dragging despite vitamins, expensive supplements and moringa, and felt they were wasting their life in bed. A friend's Adderall gave a burst of energy for cleaning, while Sudafed put them back to sleep by mid-morning, and they hoped to get a stimulant. One Celsius energy drink produced a felt difference. Onset, duration and any lasting recovery were not described.
