[QUOTE="Geri, post: 238442, member: 31848"] Hi Monkey 201 - just went online and saw your post. I actually reverted back to a flat state of mind after writing the post at the top of this link. Went to the GP and felt like giving up. The more energy feeling after coming off Venlafaxine had lapsed and the GP commented that at present no one knows what is happening with me and ME was mentioned. The GP put me on Citalopram, a seratonin reuptake inhibiter, and I started on half the prescribed dose and after a week felt better in myself. Ive been on this for about 2 months and have only had 1 really bad 'no energy' day. I looked online and saw that this drug (in a higher dose) has been recommended to treat diabetic neuropathy as well as helping women with hot flushes. I was prescribed 20 mg daily but am taking 10 mg daily. It has helped, although I am aware of placebo effects of feeling better on new tablets etc, but perhaps you might consider this too? It was very difficult for me to come off the Venlafaxine, but I am glad that I did as I still think that it made me far more tired and exhausted than normal. I am aware that I may go back to black, as I call it, but having had a hectic and busy christmas time, I am pleased that I more or less kept up with everyone else. That is a huge improvement on what I use to be like. I hope this post helps. I think it is useful to discuss similar problems, especially as you have also had diabetes for quite a while too. Best, Gerry x [/QUOTE]
