Drink enough water, get the right amount of sleep, avoid processed food, and engage in some physical activity. All of these things will increase your energy and motivation levels more than a multivitamin.
What your friend is likely feeling is a placebo effect and you'd likely experience the same. A short period of increased feeling of wellness with little-to-no real improvement. How long that feeling of wellness remains depends entirely on you, but it shouldn't be confused with actual wellness.
Go to the doctor, tell them your symptoms, and ask for advice before you start self medicating with vitamins. They can do blood tests to find out if you're actually vitamin deficient or if your issue is related to something else like thyroid issues or depression or whatever. If it IS a vitamin deficiency, getting it through food is the number 1 best way, but supplements help.
Talk to your doctor. That's what they're there for.
