What should I do if my constant tiredness did not get better with vitamin treatments (Methylcobalamine, Nurokind OD, and Tayo 60000 IU), and while Modalert 100 helps me stay awake, my doctor insists my fatigue is from depression, has prescribed fluoxetine 20mg instead, and suggested I get a second opinion?
While modafinil (Modalert 100) helps you stay awake, it only masks the symptom rather than treating the cause. Depression is a very real, physical cause of chronic fatigue, and fluoxetine can help resolve this over a few weeks. I highly recommend following your doctor's excellent advice to get a second opinion, perhaps from a sleep specialist or psychiatrist. This will ensure you get a comprehensive evaluation and the right support.
