There are several B Vitamins that help with fatigue when taken in higher doses.
Thiamine, Vitamin B1
Thiamine is the first high dose vitamin I started in 2014. It's slow but steady energy booster.
Here is an account of how B1 helps fatigue for multiple chronic conditions, and the research behind it
How I Found My Long-Lost Energy
500mg 3x/day. Start at 500mg 1/day for 3 days, then 2/day for 3 days, 3/day thereafter.
There are 8 pilot studies of high dose thiamine for fatigue across different illnesses by Dr Costantini.
“All the autoimmune diseases have chronic exhaustion as symptom: in 40 to 80% of the
cases: multiple sclerosis, rheumatic diseases, thyroiditis, ulcerative illnesses.”
Parkinson's: "the therapy based on high doses of Vitamin B1 eliminated exhaustion and
the neurological deficit. Of course, beyond a period of 20 or 30 years, it was impossible
to eliminate the disease entirely. However an important part could."
Only use Thiamine HCL
Vitacost Vitamin B-1 -- 500 mg - 300 Capsules - Vitacost
The ones listed below are not high dose, but you need a good B complex along with the high dose ones.
Multi-vitamin
You want a multi that has the B-complex, but with methylated B12 and methyl-folate.
This was the best review I could find, explains ingredients, and importance of the methyl form. But all of these
required several pills a day, and cost more than $1 per day.

Or buy at Amazon
B-Complex
You can also take a separate B-complex if you are not taking a multi that has b-complex in it..
Look for these higher quality ingredients:
Other ingredients do not mater which form they are in, like Riboflavin, Pantothenic Acid, PABA .
WARNING! If you have Parkinson's and take sinemet or stalevo, do not take more than 25 mg B6, it can deplete
the levodopa. The Thorne brand has the right methyl-folate and methyl-B12 and only 10 mg B6.
Take your multi at breakfast, then take one serving of B-complex after lunch.
Lithium Orotate
Lithium Orotate is not a B Vitamin, but also important for brain health
I've been using Lithium Orotate for 5 years, Many brain health benefits, and mood stabilizer.
This is not the lithium carbonate used for psychiatric illness, this is a nutritional mineral.
If you have any suggestions for anything that has worked well for you, let me know!
