I read  a report filed by dr.anderson on medhelp about specifically how opiods bust the part of the brain repsonsible for chronic fatigue... to be honest, i was on medications (opiods, antidpressants, tranquilzers) for soo long, switching on and off, as each dr recommened tsoemthing different... the last opiod i was on was tramdol (900mg).. yah i was taking a lsighlty higher dose, then when day i mistakenly overdosed gradually over 6hrs when i saw no effetc on my body (1600mg)...i got severe siezures etc.. i was hsopitlzaisd...after this incident, whenever i took tramdol, which i suddenly reduced to 400mg (then straight down to 50mg in 2 weeks), i would get someof the owrst chronic fatigue syndromes (my 5 senses +heartbeat would be hyphypersnesitistve)...then after i stoped tramdol, (and htis happend whenevr i stopped tramdol) the ysmptoms would banish...literally.. afte ri stopped i didnt feel normal, but i was "ok", they was nothign seriously wrong with me...

then, 6 days later, i was given cyblata (30mg) ...an hour and half later i  got the same reaction (first time i get htis type of reaction fro man antidperssant)...the idiot dr then gave me teazadone +remeron +xanax + a medication to reduce my heart beats, and increased the doses of each one, the sympotms got much much worse...i was already on so many GI edications....the sympotms neevr bansihed since then...ives toopped them about 3months ago...i just dont get it, are portracted sympoitms htis bad? or could this be portracted chronic faitgue syndrome becuz my body blow out after the siezure and meds? all my blood etsts r good +my mri brain scan...
