Psychiatrist,  's  Response
hi,

You have described of feeling physically and mentally fatigued along with low mood and anxiety. These are also hampering your life to a great extent. You haven't specified for how long are you having these problems, but I assume from what you have told, that it is there for more than few years.

I assume your physician had diagnosed you with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) for which you might have got a prescription of Lisdexamphetamine (vyvanse). Your symptoms suggests you to be having a mood disorder, either depressive episode or dysthymia, rather than CFS. I would prefer to give you an antidepressant like tablet Buproprion.

This shall be prescribed only after getting detailed information about your previous medical and psychiatric problems, and psychiatric problems in your family.

So please Consult a nearby psychiatrist and live a happy fruitful life.
