EDS Issues
I am suffering from daytime sleepiness since 1.5 years, i have consulted different doctors ranging from g.p to phychiatrist, took medicines for anxiety, insomnia including multivitamins but none of the medicine fixed my daytime sleepiness. I don't have sleep apnea as well, i am hopeless and i am fed up dealing with this, this continues throughout daytime till evening and After evening suddenly i become super active like such that its hard to sleep in night as well.

You probably had sleep study to exclude the diagnosis of sleep apnea. Other causes of day time somnolence is Narcolepsy. Which is treatable but has no cure. Medicine like provigil and nuvigil are prescribed after confirming the diagnosis. MSLT if not done the consider it as well. Screening for diabetes as well.
