A nice healthy way to increase calories is evaporated milk (the unsweetened one).

Also look into the appetite-stimulating potential of cyproheptadine, although it isn't a longterm solution.

I've had severe fatigue/depression and insomnia for a while. Tried lots of things for it. A few months back I was trying high dose niacin and it totally resolved my issues. Like life-changing effects were felt, almost like hypomania but it wasn't because my mind was calm and I had a desire to sleep. The niacin had this effect many times during a two-day period. Then it stopped. Strangely an l-arginine supplement brought it back but then it stopped too.

Since that experience, I've tried very high doses and consistently taking the niacin for weeks. Also I've tried oral NAD powder, NADH, nicotinamide, and NR. Nothing.

My second experience with the problems going away was from an IV administration of n-acetylcysteine. It nearly had the same effect as the niacin did back then. Oral NAC doesn't do this, but l-cystine does to a certain degree. It is toxic in high doses though, causing a waxy build-up in the liver among other issues.

If any bioenergetic experts know what could potentially be going on please let me know

We share similar issues. ADHD symptoms, severe fatigue, and digestion issues. I found my ferritin tested low. The research I've seen suggests the ideal way to supplement iron is in the morning every other day so maybe try that. It isn't recommended to take it without a ferritin test though. In my case, the iron hasn't been helping much.
