Has anyone else had a problem with severe fatigue? Usually mine only lasts 3 to 4 days. But this time it started over a week ago. I don't know how but I managed to work 3 1/2 days full time and show up to my hearing. But other than that I have felt seriously tired. I have very little energy and my daughter is looking forward to me visiting her (but she lives 6 hours away).

I would really love to visit her but don't have the energy to pack much less make the drive.Dizzy

You don't say if you have other symptoms associated with depression, so by itself it could be many different things.

Yes Sparkerama I do have other symptoms, but I forget right now what they are. The only ones I usually remember are suicidal, blue and/or sad and crying (which kind of go hand in hand).

However, after posting this it seems that this longer than usual bout with fatigue may be due to my dose of lisinopril being up by 10 mg. I'll have to call the doctor who prescribed and see. It sucks that she doesn't work on Fridays. I am really sick of feeling so tired.

Maybe it is the drug. But it's no good having you depressed, as you know. I wrote some thoughts on recovering from depression on another post a few minutes ago. Maybe there is something there for you that would make it worth a look:
