There is a med called ProVigil that can be used for patients that take other medications that are highly sedating, but you need to be careful with taking too many meds yourself. I have found a combination of 5 supplements that have helped me to feel like I have some more energy, but I've only been taking them for a couple of weeks. They are VIt D3 (1000 IU), Magnesium 200mg, Alpha-Lipotic Acid 200 mg, CoQ10, and a Super Vit B Complex (also contains Vic C). Hope this is helpful for you!

Hi IsabelScott,
The tiredness is awful and for me, stays with me all the time.
I find taking a vitamin tonic helps. Sometimes I take mine for months at a time. I think the magnesium and iron help plus I think vitamin E helps to withdraw energy from our food.
I also take Sertraline for anxiety but that does give me more energy. My Gp prescribes that. Try to get up if you can and do an activity. I find the more I sleep the more I want to sleep.
It is a horrid illness.
