Fatigue
I was diagnaosed with mono about 2 months ago. About 5 weeks ago
during a visit to my doctor I told him I started to have anxiety.
No sooner did the words come out of my mouth did he hand me a 3 week
supply of Lexapro. I took it for the 3 weeks and he then gave me a
prescription for another 3 months. I have pretty much experienced
each of the side effects that people describe here but my biggest
problem is fatigue. Obviously fatigue is the number 1 result of
mono but I am begining to think that a lot of it has to do with the
Lexapro. I have never taken any anti-depression medication nor have
I ever had anxiety before. I am begining to wonder if the doctor
was too quick to give me this medicine.
Some days I feel as though I just can’t get myself to wake up. I
feel like I walk around in a fog all day.
Does anyone else have this problem with fatigue and if so what can
be done about it. Also what are the effects that I would feel if I
stop taking the Lexapro?
Any advice is appreciated.
Thank you

steve, hypothyroidism can effect men. it’s not just a woman’s disease. my
doctor is a man, and he suffered from it for years. my father also had it. maybe
keep it in mind. good luck to you. peg
