Depression will sap her energy too of course. Re telling if too much I find it is trial and error. I can tell now if I do x it will take y time to recover. It is also a moving target. As we progress it takes more energy to do less.
If she is depressed and not taking antidepressants hopefully she will consider one. She may say and rightly so she has every reason to be sad. She can still be helped though if there is depression beyond normal grief. I know one pals whose neurologist prescribed riluzole and an antidepressant at diagnosis! I don’t believe every pals needs them ( I don’t take them) but many do benefit from them. Many of them do interact with nuedexta though. If she isn’t having bulbar symptoms or emotional lability though then she wouldn’t need it yet
