question: My red blood count total is fine, although it takes more red blood cells to reach the proper total. My white blood cells are regular size and numerous. Although I have about half the symptoms, I have been diagnosed with thalycemia. I am often extremely tired, and sometimes feel like fainting as I feel like all the blood has been drained from my body. I am taking Vitamin B, Vitamin D and a multivitamin as supplements, as well as Celexa, Lyrica, Xanax and a very old tri-cyclic, Imipramine. These medications are overseen by my psychiatrist and rheumatologist.
