Lara, I don't believe that is the case, because I haven't had troubles or micromanaged my memory since a hit I took over the summer. I have another post on that. I saw a very brief flash of light but no other symptoms. Doc says no concussion. What do you think?

Although I've struggled with depression of varying degrees since I was 10 years old, I experienced major depression (clinical depression) in 1982 and was treated by a psychiatrist. He did not use medication. Instead, he started me on the vitamin regimen I still use today. The B-12 was a primary part. I got B-12 shops weekly. I was a different person within 8 weeks.

That depression was like nothing I had ever experienced before. My memory was so bad I could hardly finish a sentence. I lost weight and had a gaunt appearance. We were expecting our 2nd child. I started the vitamin regimen 8 weeks before my daughter was born. I was so lethargic, I expected to be useless to my wife but recovered from the depression in time to be a full support for her as our daughter was born by C-section.

Diverdown,

I encourage you to try the vitamin regimen in the sticky at the top. It can be a sound basis to help your brain endure stress.

Thanks mark.

Now, is this regiment in the sticky universal? Is it okay to to take it alongside sertraline and adderall?

Yes, there is nothing in it that is not already part of a good diet. It just increases the amounts to the level needed by an injured brain.

It is not a quick fix. It takes discipline. You also need to manage stress in you life to get maximum benefit, especially when complicated by PCS.

I should have got my rear in gear a lot sooner but my vitamins will probably be in today and I am a bit excited.
