Default Supplement regimen for Post Concussion Syndrome

Hello, I was recently diagnosed with PCS. Injuries were sustained 20-40 years ago. A lifetime of emotional and cognitive problems, always blaming myself. I saw an integrative neurologist and began getting LORETA neurofeedback. In addition to PCS, I was diagnosed with heavy metal toxicities, low Vitamin D levels, and hypothyroidism. Here is the list of supplements prescribed by my healthcare professionals.

1. Ubiquinol (the absorbable form of CoQ 10): 100 mg, 3x/day
2. Fish Oil (EPA heavy): 1000 mg, 2x/day (max dose is 3,000 mg/day)
3. SAM-e: 800 mg in the morning, 400 mg at 2:00 p.m.
4. Vitamin B Complex: one/day (a necessary co-factor for SAM-e)
5. TMG: 650 mg, once daily (a necessary co-factor for SAM-e)
6. Curcumin: 500 mg/day
7. Vitamin D3: 7000 IU/day (Vitamin D does not absorb well in the GI tract; am considering getting a Vitamin D injection for faster respone)

8. Vitamin K2 complex: 2200 mcg/day
9. Multivitamin - I take Life Extension brand "Two-Per-Day" tablets

In addition, the neurologist prescribed a drug called Nimotop (aka nimodipine) to improve impaired brain circulation. It is a calcium channel blocker. This is an off-label use of an FDA approved drug.
