Summary
A Reddit user posting in r/chronicfatigue and r/cfs described wanting to sleep forever and said the first week of antidepressants was the only time they felt rested; eventually the drugs made them more tired. They also said weekly B12 shots and vitamin D and iron supplements helped a bit, and recalled being an absolute demon when woken by their parents and feeling awful about it now.
