Is Lethargy A Side Effect Of Cortisone Injections?
I have been on Zoloft 200 mg daily for over 20 years, and it controls my major depressive disorder very well. But lately, I have been having pretty extreme lethargy and a complete lack of interest in just about everything. I had a cortisone injection for shoulder pain recently and am wondering if that may be the cause of these symptoms.
