Hi laima,
your story compares very well with mine. It seems you have a very precautious docter who doestn't go and prescribe anything, and that's a good thing.
me too had my blood drawn and guess what, my iron was very low too. I was prescribed iron pills, but know this: it's in red meat that iron is. If you don't like the pills (it's a truth, they are VERY heavy for the stomach), just eat some more red meat and you'll be fine.
BUT iron is very unlikely to solve your psychological health problems, including the motivation etc. Now here is where you can learn from my experience: my docter prescribed me the dopamine antagonist deprenyl (eldepryl in europe) to see if this would solve anything. It gave me a small boost, but as far as the dopamine was concerned, the results weren't baffling. So save yourself the few weeks you would need to test it and forget it.
Now these injections, are supposed to stimulate your own making of various neurotransmitters. It is known to give a 'kick', not referring to drugs, but rather just to a raise of motivation and energy.
I haven't recieved any injections yet, and I even don't know the name of the product, but maybe we can stay in touch and i can keep you updated?
grtz,
Brice
