I finally fixed post-COVID fatigue
- Condition

- At worst
- Moderate (mostly housebound)
- Ill for
- 3 months

Summary
D.Rabbie says a combination of the vasoactive drug heptaminol with cinnarizine, and later with modafinil, gave him "better energy and mental clarity" that he felt exceeded his pre-COVID baseline, after two to three months of unresolving post-COVID fatigue and brain fog. Twenty days in he reports the effect holding but with a sharp "comedown" when each dose wears off, so he was still monitoring durability and updating monthly rather than declaring it solved.
