Does it make sense for someone with a long term chronic illness, hence, maybe more “junk” that the body needs help to clean up - to experience more fatigue with rapamycin? I still get quite tired using it, and benefits are unclear. But I have to wonder if the rapamycin is busy kicking off autophagy, and maybe I have more garbage cells to clean up - would that process contribute to more fatigue as my body works harder or as part of the autophagy process? Just spit balling here!

I don’t know, but I do know that my fatigue after taking rapamycin seems dose-dependent.
Fatigue is of course a common side effect. As far as I can tell there is no consensus for why this happens.

I experience euphoric fatigue almost every time I dose for the two days after dosing. I like your theory! I hope you are correct.
I have noticed my fatigue turns to nausea if I work out on the days I am fatigued - cycling or hiking. I usually dose on Saturday morning.

Whilst autophagy is going one would expect that the cells affected would be constrained in their energy output, but once it completes their energy output should be slightly better.
