Hi Ckhuerckh,

 

I do not recommend a specific supplement to boost energy levels.  Blood sugar spikes/dips are often connected to drops in energy.  It may simply be a matter of eating snacks/meals regularly with the right balance of protein/carbs to prevent drops in energy throughout the day to resolve your lack of energy situation.

 

All the best,

Actually I think its because of the meds that I am taking why I feel like this.  I Am on Zoloft, Amitryptolyn, Verapamil 240, Natrilix and Asprin.  Usually when I am done taking these, unless I am doing something I have no energy to do anything else.  I need a picker upper.  I really do!
