Q: Tiredness and vitamin supplements

asked by: DoctorQuestion on September 4th, 2008

I just started taking a liquid multivitamin and now I seem to be tired during the day at work. It says your guranteed to have a burst of energy but I'm not. A friend of mine and the pharmacist at the health food store recommended this multivitamin. Why am I so tired?

Current medical status: Cysts on breasts and ovaries
Current medical treatment: Albuterol

Tiredness can be the result of many conditions (organic and mental) including a side effect from Albuterol.

Multivitamin supplements could help you only if the cause of your tiredness was a deficit of a vitamin. It is obvious that the reason for your tiredness isn't any vitamin deficit.

You could visit your GP for clinical examination and basic blood analyses.
