what do you think of this?

I'm quite confused to whats going on.I'm always tired I go to bed early and wake up at a decent time. During the week I get my 8-12 hours of sleep, also workout and eat healthy. I live a good lifestyle and I feel at 21 I shouldn't be feeling like this especially because I don't have anything that stresses me minus the fact that I'm always tired. Also nothing has changed Same school and job.Went to 3 different regular doctors they don't know what it is had my blood drawn and everything was perfect, went to GNC and got expensive vitamin B pills, still didn't fix the problem. Due to my tiredness it makes me depressed, I cannot concentrate, I always feel very overwhelmed and get anxiety.Knowing that I have something to do during the week I start panicking and get very overwhelmed and fidgety. I took a few semesters off from school because I have been getting bad grades due to feeling careless and unable to focus.I've always been one who has it hard to focus in school and finishing my school task completely,I always am doing 3 things at once. This has been going on for about three in a half years now and it's just getting worst. The worst part is it's effecting my school because I just can't sit there and concentrate and stay focused.Its also depressing that my friends are all energetic and excited to do things and I cant because I'm constantly thinking about sleeping.Iv'e been researching there's quite a few things that stood out to me that could possibly be the problem.First I thought I was anemic but blood tests,iron were perfect.I also was looking and saw that I had a lot of symptoms of adult add.So I took a test and it came out to 72 which scores that I most likely am and should seek professional help.One of my good friends has Add and is prescribed to adderall,I talked to him about it and he said I could possibly have it. So he gave me one of his adderalls to test and it COMPLETELY helped me got everything done,felt energized, and I honestly haven't felt like that for a VERY long time.Felt like a new person,stay focused and did things throughout the day.So I decided to go to a psychiatrist yesterday,very nice and really understood me,unlike other doctors he made me feel comfortable. He then prescribed me Viibryd it's a new prescription and it will help you focus and be not so depressed about the sleeping, ext..My other doctor prescribed me lorazepum(does nothing for me) because he thinks I have anxiety, which I somewhat do.Strongly Researching,I don't think I should take the viibryd (if anyone knows any info on it or experienced viibryd I'm interested on hearing your experience or what you think about it) I don't think I'm that depressed as much as others for this also reviews on the viibryd are bad.With the LORAZEPUM just makes me more tired and relaxed and still not getting my responsibilities done, and my psychiatrist agreed about the lorazepum that I shouldn't take it. Now I'm unsure how I go about getting adderall from my psychiatrist or what to say,I heard its hard to be prescribed it. I almost feel awkward to even suggest it to him because he probably thinks I'm just another college student trying to get adderall and get high or whatever it is that college kids do with it.I honestly am not like that I felt like a normal person when I took it,got so much done and felt like it was for me. My psychiatrist did say I could have add but didn't go much forward about it.Just gave me the anti depressant pills which seem like a big harm to the body.I don't know if I should tell him about the aderall I tried or tell him I got sick off this viibryd or ask to take actions on finding out if I do have add? I just don't want to risk not getting it.Also thinking of just going to another psychiatrist and say my doctor said I should take viibyrd for my slight depression and my possible add problem? SO what to do?!I'm only 21 and I miss out on everything because I get overwhelmed, over think,and have a temper! hope someone can help! Thank you.

I really appreciate your answer you were very helpful. Your right I need to not be afraid to stand up for myself. Even If I do not receive adderoll I would like something to help because I'm so stressed and I know at 21 I shouldn't be!

   Couple of thoughts.
First, the tiredness is a bit unusual.   I would really check into sleep apnea.  Most people who have it don't know it.  I am assuming that your thyroid function was checked?   So do google it and check it out.  It can be caused by a variety of things and they are all fixable.
   Viibryd - boy, I can understand your discomfort in trying this.  One of my favorite sites is really not to high on this med.  Check it out here - http://www.crazymeds.us/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Meds/Viibryd and you might also want to go through their alphabetical list and check out  LORAZEPUM  too.
   I don't know if you have ADD, but you certainly have all the symptoms.  Of course, if you don't have ADD, Adderall will also do wonders - so you do have to be careful.  However, anxiety and depression do go hand in hand with adult ADD.  And personally, it drives me nuts when the psycs don't treat the cause of the above.   What to do?
      One thought is to check out the psycs of the college you go to.  They should be more in tune with this.   Next would be to get really informed on ADD so that you can tell your psyc that you want to treat the cause, not the co-existing disorder.   And ya, as I hinted at in the first statement - you may want to try a different psyc.  They all have specialties.  Look for one who deals with ADD people.
    Some sites to check out.  Very comprehensive -       http://www.help4adhd.org/en/about/what/WWK8
     Also there are two adult ADD sites that are full of info but a bit hard to follow as they both are written by adults with ADD.  They are totallyadd.com and http://jeffsaddmind.com/for-first-time-visitors.   I kind of like Jeffs site.
    Hope this helps.  Keep in touch and let me know what happens.   And -
Oh, don't be afraid to stand up for yourself.   Adult ADD is a real thing and your psyc should be able to deal with that.
