Chronic Fatigue and drowsiness
Few months back, I was diagnosed for moderate depression and severe vitamin deficiency (B12 and D3). I have taken 2 Methylcobalamine 1000 injections and a followed a three month course of T nurokind OD and Tayo 60000 IU ( once a week) tablets. But this exhaustion and daytime sleepiness isn't cured and little to no improvement is seen since the diagnosis even after having a balanced diet and morning workout. This heavily affects my classes and studies. As, I have my end sem exams in June, I asked a known pharmacist with my deficiency prescription for Modalert 100. He gave me one strip of tablets and insisted to take 50 mg two days once to avoid withdrawal. I feel normal with no tiredness or exhaustion. But my psychiatrist insists that I have depression and diagnosed me again for depression and prescribed me fluoxetine 20mg. He doesn't want to prescribe Modalert and asked me to get a second opinion from another psychiatrist. What should I do?

Hi, since you have been diagnoses with moderate depression already, only multivitamins are not gonna help. And only modalert is not going to give you relief in the long run. Better to go for proper medication for your symptoms.
