Thanks to everyone who replied to my post. Your thoughts have been helpful:) My neuro has suggested I begin Amantadine and I have the medication on my kitchen bench......I'm just afraid to begin drug therapy. I realize this fear is emotional, I know logically that beginning the therapy may/will assist my condition. But, I'm still scared to begin something I'll never be able to stop. It's embarrassing to admit something so irrational. I have had insomnia, and I was taking a very, very (1/4 of a 25mg capsule) low dose of an antidepressant (the drug name is prothiodin), but I was getting worse and worse fatigue during the day even after an excellent night rest that I thought I'd stop taking it. However, the fatigue is getting worse and now I'm beginning to sleep lighter. I know Hans has suggested we should not appologise, but I feel like such a *whinger*:( It interests me that some of you have had this illnes for such a long time. I'm only 38, and wonder about the long term. Thanks again for you help and interest, Julie-Ann
