A member asked:
Are stimulants ever prescribed for chronic fatigue following a diagnosis of mono in the past? any other treatment?

Unusual: Not usually. Chronic fatigue is a difficult thing to treat. The mainstays of treatment are mostly behavioral training, good sleep hygiene, eating well, and screening for coexisting conditions, both medical (like anemia), and psychiatric (like depression). If you do have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, pharmaceutical therapy usually doesn't work very well. It comes down to willpower and behavior change.
