Hi there

I have been very tiered lately and I was wondering if anyone could suggest any vitamins that I could take?

I don't go to bed that late when I am not working about 11pm I then get up at 7.30am. But I feel like I could go back to bed and not get up until 1pm

I have PCOS and am on Metformin for that.

Hope you can help

I find that a good B vitamin helps (I get a timed released one from Holland and Barrett and has most of the B's in it).  Actually i find if i take it after 5.00 at night i cant sleep so its got to be helping!  YOu can also look at your diet and make sure you are eating slow release energy foods (not high fat/suguar which often make you feel tired - i should know i have a chocolate addiction!)  Its worthwhile going to a good health shop and asking them for advice ... i'm sure some other people on this page will give you good advice as well
Now time for my midday snooze!

I also had same problem but now i go to bed around 10pm and get up 7.00am -  i also found that acu and tcm helped
my energy altho that's not the reason why i went. Vit B is good, take zinc too
you could also try Q10& royal Jelly . I also tried alfalfa, spirulina and wheat grass.
Just out of interest - is tiredness a side effect of Metformin?
Bye 4 now

Hi Casey

Thanks, what is tcm?

Thanks for the help guys and I will look into the side effect of the metformin.

Chazz - tcm is traditional chinese medicine - might be an idea if you check out vita west or marilyn glenville re what vits and what dose to take.
another good one is ginsemg but i think you should only take it for short periods - best to check esp if you're taking meds
