I had something similiar in High School where my doctor wanted me to take anti-depressents.

My problem was that I was sleeping to much and feeling tired and fatigued.

Doc thought I was depressed, me arguing saying I wasn't depressed was actually taken as a sign of depression.

I refused to go meds, and went to another doctor who actually did work, and figured that I just had a virus, needed some rest, relaxation and some anti-biotics, they worked and I was fine.

It amazed me and my parents how quick the first doctor was to just push some pills down my throat for something I didn't even have.

My mom had these same symptoms along with weight loss. The drs insisted it was depression and tried to give her Paxil. (she argued and wouldn't cooperate)

Turned out she had Grave's Disease.

“I just had a virus, needed some rest, relaxation and some anti-biotics”

Antibiotics are worthless against a virus.

Maybe doc #2 was also one of the lazy, bribed, drug pushers everyone says they are

Doctors remember?

They “practice” medicine.
