A member asked:

Why do multivitamins seem to make my fatigue worse?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

??: There is no evidence for why that would happen. Maybe a placebo effect? Maybe you only take your vitamins on days you're already tired. Eat a healthy diet and skip the vitamin - that's a win/win way to go.
