Over several years, I have found it very tricky to get the supplements just right until your fatigue becomes less and less. The combination of the right supplements is key, also, in the correct dosages for your particular biochemistry. It's not easy, I know. No doctor has enough scientific data to recommend a particular regimen for any given individual. It is quite complex. With medicine, it seems to be a once size fits all kind of deal. Not so with vitamins. I always suggest adding one vitamin at a time, seeing if the nutrient helps your symptoms, then moving on to another vitamin. I don't like B complex vitamins for example, b/c there again, it's that once size fits all mentality. Individual B vitamins should be tried at doses you can tolerate. The ones that I have had the greatest benefit from are Thiamine, Riboflavin, pyridoxine, and B12. I failed many trials of Niacin, even though it is supposed to be useful for schizophrenia. I also recommend things like selenium, magnesium, vitamins E and C, as well as GABA supplements. Fish oil and borage oil are also useful for mood in some people. Dosage of each nutrient is key, and like I said, it is complex. I guess if you worked with a naturopathic doctor, he or she could help you figure it out. I wish you the best with your Vitamin D trial. Take care.
