I lost 2 jobs cuz they closed ,, then my girlfriend and I broke up ...I was on Prozac and not sexually active enought for her , so to try and appease her I went offthe Prozac cold turkey ,,, suffered withdrawls for 2 weeks straight ,, thought I was sick had all kinds of blood work done , everything came out ok, then I read quitting those pills like I did , will do evereything that happened to me ...she still didnt have the patience to wait for me to " recover" from the effects ,,and now I have no girlfriend ( I told her I'd let her go cuz shes unhappy and she says I dont understand) ,,, ya ...ya I do , I just went 8 years with no girlfriend cuz of Paxil the libido killer ,,now I dont want to take the pills I probably need and have no woman now either...I can't take those pills ...they ruin my sex and she said I acted like the dude ( Ben Stiller ) in the Clear Eyes commercial......I thought I was doing good , but dont we all think we're doing good untill someone says " we have to talk" oh man .....so ya now I'm very tired , cant sleep much when I'm supposed to and very weak feeling ...it goes with the  territory I'm finding out .

Should get your thyroid tested and check for celiac disease as well, these can both make you very tired, and with celiac it can make you feel sick alot, there easy to be tested for just a simple blood test

one of depression's main symptoms is weakness and fatigue.  anxiety, depression, and obsessive thinking can sap all of your energy as well as lower your immune system.
