Lots of times, tiredness comes from boredom or from a day you dont like. Maybe things didnt work the way you wanted to. Do you have a hobby? If so, go out and have fun. Alot of the times, tiredness is a psychological thing so if you have fun, laugh alot, it can refresh your head and make you less tired. Also, Try talking with a fun friend that will make you laugh. It is important to sometimes have so much fun that you forget yourself you are tired.

some people suffer from what I call weather depression( there is a more Technical medical name for it) but when the day is horrible like cloudy and grey or snowing then some people feel depressed and you can actually get medicine (antidepressants) for this as it classed as a form of depression. however if you do go on anti -depressants you should also get counselling as the two go hand in hand. Another thing you could do is go to another dr and get a blood test for your iron levels and see if they suggest other medication or an iron shot. These are very painful and are given in the buttocks usually one injection every week for 3-6 weeks and they can leave a tiny green needle mark in your bum but who will notice that if you start to feel better. If your iron is low you should try and eat lots of fresh dark green veggies but like bock - choy, english spinach,broccoli and so forth but they should be eaten with a citrus food or orange vegetable like lemon juice, or orange juice or carrot or pumpkin as this helps the body to absorb iron. You can also buy bread and milk with foliate and iron added to it. Red meat is also a good source of iron.

Perhaps you need to go back to the doctor and get another blood test just to make sure there isn't any underlying medical condition. Anemia can often be part of other symptoms ie have you had your gluten checked as you might be celiac? Check out these websites to see if they help.
You mentioned you are supposed to be taking one iron tablet a day but didn't mention if you were actually taking it! I assume you are as if your not you will be making yourself tired as you will become anemic again. Ferroliquid is good to take if you don't like the tablets.
Make sure you eating lots of high iron foods like beef and pate and drink it with orange juice to enhance the iron absorption. check out the list of high iron foods if you don't already know them. cooking in cast iron is a good idea too as it also aids the iron absorption.
