I have been using Duloxetine which works for pain and depression which works well for me.
The thing that worked very well for the fatigue and the foggy head is a med called Quinacrine, it is a very old drug that is so old it isn't made any more so it has to be gotten at an apothecary. but it was a miracle worker for me!

i am taking Cymbalta as well. Use to take Viibryd but I got super irritable. I have NEVER had energy, so. I will be watching the answers.

Me too @A MyLupusTeam Member, same dosage and I love it...no side effects, no weight gain and I feel my feelings still, it doesn't "block" my emotions or make me feel "fake" about my emotions...

@A MyLupusTeam Member I do use hydroxychloroquine but the Quinacrine is for energy and brain fog.
Quinacrine was developed to give soldiers an extra jolt of energy so they could keep fighting when battles had kept going long hours.
