I would steer you towards Rhodiola Rosea, Ashwaghanda, Eleuthero, or any product with a blend of a dozen or so adaptogens. I think the adaptogens are real good at improving quality of life, but most especially when there is fatigue and when there is anxiety or insomnia. Their mechanisms are many - agonists and antagonists simultaneously at many different sites in the body - so they tend to balance out whatever is out of balance.
Fatigue and anxiety are the two symptoms that usually improve with them.
They can be hard to get started. They can rock the boat. So I think it pays to start at a really low dose - lower than the lowest dose - and plan on taking some time to ramp up doses - think in terms of months instead of days or weeks. Should be able to get to full doses, or whatever doses feel good to you, in 3 months or less. They work gradually. More benefits at 6 months. More at 9 months. More at 1 1/2 years.
So I think the adaptogen strategy for you makes sense, for a variety of reasons I could write a book about.
Other than that I would focus on herbs - not supplements - that you can feel them helping you. That's just your own personal online research, scouting around, google searching, whatever, and experimentation with the things you find that are interesting.
The other stuff you are taking is good. I get those in a vitamin called Two-Per-Day by Life Extension that has so much good stuff in it. I love berberine.
