For what it's worth, I just started taking the Core 5 vitamin set from mercola.com and it seems to really work. I sort of ordered it in a moment of weakness, figuring that it was probably a scam but for 100 bucks it was worth trying for 30 days. I'm only a week in, but I really feel better than I've felt in a long, long time. Which is weird because I was already taking a multivitamin, Omega-3, and 800IU of vitamin D, but I wasn't getting nearly the same effect. Even if it's just a placebo, at $100 bucks a month I'm happy to pay for it if the improvement is sustained.

Anyway I have no idea if there is actually just meth in these and that's why they make me feel so good, or what the longterm safety/efficacy is, but I just wanted to recommend it as an option. It could turn out that you're just deficient in some random thing, and just paying a hundred bucks and taking a crapload of everything for 30 days is a lot cheaper than getting tested for every possible nutrition deficiency, and you'll know within a couple days whether it's working.

I have no experience with the mercola.com vitamins; however, I can attest to positive experiences with the (cheaper) vitamin/mineral combination found in the "Alive!" vitamins: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009F3RO2/ . Also cheaper (60 day supply for under $30). I, my wife, and my mother-in-law have all had good results.
