Suggest Medication For Exhausted Feeling And Loss Of Concentration

I am so exhausted all of the time and have a problem concentrating and not being scatter brained but I tried phentermine and was not as exhausted and was very alert and my mind was quite a bit sharper than usual. Could I obtain a prescription for this medication?

Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related queries

I can understand your concern. The symptoms like exhausted feeling, poor concentration etc can occur due to persistent stress or mild depression. But some medical causes should be ruled out to make diagnosis of stress as cause of these symptoms.

Low vitamin B12 levels, poor nutrition, iron deficiency anaemia, hypothyroidism, hyper cortisol levels etc are common medical causes that should be ruled out for these symptoms. Please consult a doctor for proper evaluation and investigations.

Vitamin B12 supplements, Omega 3 Fatty Acids tabs help to reduce these symptoms and are very useful. If symptoms persist then visit a psychiatrist for treatment.

Thanks, Hope this helps you. Take care
