Does Choline Help In Treating Fatigue And Mood Swings?
Hi, I am a 70 yo prediabetic, hypothyroid on synthroid, obese (30 BMI), osteoarthritic with fibromyalgias. Having trouble with fatigue, mood swings and days of depression, on and off days of inflammation. I am very diet conscious, trying to limit my calories to 1600 a day and in an exercise program. My LDL is 145 and cholesterol overall 210. Triglycerides are 138. Would it be appropriate to take choline to help with some of the above symptoms?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I would explain that Choline could help improve the fatigue and memory problems.
But it has no effects on the mood swinging and depression. An antidepressant could help improve all of your symptoms. In this regard, I would recommend trying Duloxetine.
Hope to have been helpful!
Wishing good health.
Dr. Iliri
