Well, I wish I had something constructive to add. I haven't had an MAOI yet. My experience has basically been bad side effects and swinging from major fatigue and pain to major stimulation and agitation depending on whether the AD was sedating or stimulating.
IMHO, it seems that CFS can be divided into two subtypes: a dysautonomia or an autoimmune problem. Of course, I'm probably overgeneralizing. I do think that the dysautonomic type of CFS could cause AD's to work in odd ways. I can't find any real research on this, though.
Abilify has helped with the fatigue to some degree. which is more than anything. May be worth discussing with your doc.
Best of luck
