I have tried many weird and wacky supplement regimes over the past couple of years but I have finally simplified my regime to the following supplement plan which seems to work very well in tandem with my prescription meds. I suffer from Social Anxiety, Depression and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)
Prescription meds:-
Lovan (generic Prozac) 10-20mg per day
Valium (diazepam) 7.5-15mg per day
Supplements:_1. One good Multivitamin tablet per day
2. One good high strength balanced B-Complex tablet per day.
3. Fish Oil (6g per day to give me 1g of EPA per day)
4. Evening Primrose Oil (3g per day to give me 300mg of GLA per day)
5. Alpha Lipoic Acid (200mg per day)
6. Natural Vitamin E (500 IU mixed tocopherals per day)
7. Magnesium Chloride solution (900mg elemental magnesium per day)
8. Co-enzyme Q10 (50mg per day)
9. A Standardised 7.5g Ginkgo Biloba leaf tablet per day
10. Zinc Chloride solution (25mg elemental zinc per day)
11. Selenium solution
12. Glucosamine Sulfate (2000mg per day.
13. One teaspoon of turmeric dissolved in water each day
14. I'm considering adding 6g of Glycine in solution form each day to take with my magnesium solution.I consider ALL of the above supplements as absolutely essential to give my system the support it needs. I know it sounds like a lot of supplements but spread out over the day it's not too bad at all!!! For example the magnesium, zinc, selenium and the glycine solutions can all be mixed in together in one glass when taken. (I tend to purchase my supplements in raw material form if I can from chemical suppliers rather than from the health food stores and this saves me substantial amounts of money).
Hope this helps a little
