Hope this helps.īenzos work because a huge part of the crash is that we're running on Adrenalin. I have had bouts of severe depression and suicidal ideation which the clonazepam obviously doesn’t relieve, but I’ve found these feelings easing with greater acceptance of the reality that I’m sick and with increased support from family and friends. Since the clonazepam works for my anxiety and I’m not having any negative effects from it, we’re sticking with it. My psych thinks ME/CFS has changed something in my chemistry that makes me especially sensitive to antidepressants. Later I tried a small dose of amitriptyline for sleep and had another bad reaction, though not as extreme as the Zoloft. I was on a very small dose, 25mg, and I would up with serotonin syndrome and thought I was going to die. That’s when I tried to go back on Zoloft. By summer of 2021 I was finally accepting that I really do have ME/CFS, but the lack of support and care that I needed made me suicidal. By the end of 2020 I was in a constant crash and had no clue what my baseline was bc of all the drugs so I weaned off of everything. My doctor switched me to cymbalta when I got sick bc he thought it was fibromyalgia at first. I had been on Zoloft since 2014 with great results.

I spent 2020 in denial and on a range of drugs including extremely high doses of Ritalin and a number of other drugs for various symptoms.
