Dealing with Chronic Fatigue: Seeking Advice

Hello, I have been experiencing extreme fatigue for the last few years that gradually has gotten worse and worse. Some days I am so fatigued I can’t get out of bed to even shower or do the bare necessities. These days seem to come in phases. Most days I am able to mostly function (shower, get some tasks done but not all) but am still extremely fatigued and lay down most of the day as long as i can. Caffeine doesn’t help, I take vitamins daily, follow a gluten free and mostly healthy home cooked diet. Usually I am too tired to exercise but I do maybe once or twice a month. It is so bad it is preventing me from getting a job. I have tried multiple medications (abilify, lamictal, Effexor, adderall, modafinil) modafinil, adderall, Effexor, and lamictal didn’t work at all. The abilify is the only one that gave me consistent energy. I felt like a new person I was able to function and even started applying to jobs. However then it started making me hypomanic and I had to stop it. I am trying Wellbutrin now which i just started this week so I’m not yet sure if it will work. I am looking for advice for this fatigue. What medications have worked for you? Did you get diagnosed with a specific disorder? Any insight is much appreciated.
