mark,

It appears you are stuck with the research/literature. I choose to use the personal empirical method to determine if supplements help.

When I read the various studies published, I find there are very important issues hidden in the details. Rarely can a study be taken at face value. There is usually an agenda being pursued.

The complaints you have may not be treatable. Or, they may need you to be more disciplined in your daily life before you see an improvement. Some times, we just have to learn to accept these symptoms.

It is easy to understand how a uninjured brain works fine without supplements. The injured brain has different needs. It is under a different stress load.

When you have had your weight under control for 6 months, have been eating a healthy diet and stayed with a good supplement regimen for the same period, you can then say whether these things help you. Until then, you are just relying on weak evidence. I know how difficult it is to be disciplined, especially when depression and discomfort are the controlling factors of each day.
