I know to avoid alcohol and vitamens containing iron but so much of the over the counter meds have writing just too small to be read.  Im feeling tired all the time and feel in need of a good herbal or vitamen regimen.

B vitamines and E are very good to help you keep alert. \nSee your doctor to make sure everything is okay with you, there are some medical conditions that make you tired a lot.\nGood luck!

Yes I believe they make a difference.  My doctor said my iron storage was low and suggested I take a multi vitamin.  (I was feeling draggy for a long time before this.)  I noticed a difference in my energy level after about a week of vitamins.  Also I found Calcium/Magnesium pills work for women suffering from PMS.

I have found great success with herbal supplements and they are cheaper than prescription meds. But you should talk to your doctor about free samples, they usually have some on hand, even if it is for only a portion it would help. Good Luck!

lots of stores with a vitamin/herbal section should carry it.  like rite-aid, walgreen's or wal-mart even.

Take a multi vitamin I have the same problem but when I remember to take my vitamins in the AM I don't yawn or feel as tired after eating. You  can also  try taking a short walk after you eat to get the digestion working a lil faster.

Staying away from iron enriched foods may help. These foods include:\nBeet Greens \nCarob Flour or Carob Powder \nChard \nChicken \nClams \nDates \nDried Apricots \nDried Beans or Peas \nDried Peaches \nPrunes or Prune Juice \nDuck \nEggs \nEnriched Breads \nHam Iron-Fortified Cereal \nJerusalem Artichokes \nLiver \nLiver Sausage \nMeat, Especially Lean Beef or Pork \nMolasses  \nOysters \nPotatoes in the Skin \nPumpkin \nRaisins \nSardines \nScallops \nShrimp Soybeans and Soy Products \nSpinach \nTuna \nTurkey \nVeal \nWheat Germ \nWhole-Grain Breads \nYou should also talk to your doctor about your high hemoglobin since this can be the first signs of:\ncongenital heart disease \ncor pulmonale \npulmonary fibrosis \npolycythemia vera \nincreased RBC formation associated with excess erythropoietin \nAlso, if you haven't already had one, you need to have a total iron test done. This will rule out any iron related diseases.

Alot of things could cause tiredness. But at 55 you should still have plenty of energy.  Best take your question to a physician's office and get a complete physical complete with blood count, you sound anemic.

Check with your Pharmacist or any Pharmacist.Tell them what else you are taking...even vitamins and herbals.He/she can tell you all about St John's Wort and how it is used and who should and shouldn't take it based on what medications you are on.

maybe you should check to see if you have low iron levels in your blood. it might cause lack of energy. take some vitamins and try to get some rest if possible. I was anemic once and was tired all the time. iron pills helped me. maybe you need fruit or something in your diet.  sometimes the thyroid gland can malfunction and cause problems.  check it out and I hope you feel better soon.

Please, stay away from the meds. I've had two friends wind up in the emergency room from pills- not 'overdoing' it or anything. Try green tea, ginseng, anything natural

id say alot of herbal supplements. You can usually ask them at the vitamin stores.I expierience the same exact condition, and have tried that route. Unfortunately it diddnt word for me! I take a pill called kolonopin .05mg. Its the least strongest of the dose and works fine. I dont get groggy, and it helps take the edge off. Maybe if the natural method doesnt work for you , you can talk to your dr. There are alot of medicines tha dont make you feel like your on another planet! or drowsy! I even tried yoga. but i have 2 kids, im 26, and just got into 2 car accidents that limit my mobility. No dancing for me lately! and this is vegas!! good luck. And dont let it make you think your crazy, just overwhelmed at the moment!!

This is going to sound really old fashioned but it does work. \nI cannot take iron pills or supplements, let's just say they don't agree with me. The easiest way I found to boost iron intake without pills or eating greens or liver (yuk) is by using cast iron cookware. \n\nSounds crazy but it does work.
