My pdocs have told me that those drugs will not work for me. They might work for some people with comorbid disorders and/or symptoms, but unfortunately, those won't work for me. I stick to what the pdocs have cautioned me, since only talk therapy has helped me for over 15 years. Medications in the past worsened my conditions. But to each their own.
It concerns me when people make suggestions about meds without first asking about histories and truly understanding that some people cannot take certain meds. Also, the interaction with certain meds and chronic fatigue syndrome or other physiological disorders can make those conditions worse. I cannot afford to make any of my conditions worse. My conditions have already worsened.
