My brother's oral health is absolutely fine - no root canaled teeth or periodontal disease.

He is obese.

He has mild depression and severe anxiety . He used to take Clonazepam (benzo) for that. He took it for 6 months. But that was 4-5 years back.He stopped it because he felt hew might get addicted . He had horrible time coming off it - withdrawal symptoms.

He takes Escitalopram SSRI 10 mg for depression. He tried duloxetine for pain but that did not work.So he reverted back to his favourite- escitalopram.


He took Nuhenz as advised by a neuro here (twice a day) by La Renon for 2.5 months - www.larenon.com

NUHENZ
mecobalamin 1500 mcg,
Alpha lipoic acid 200 mg,
Benfotiamine 200 mg,
Folic acid 1.5 mg,
Chromium polynicotinate 200 mg,
Myo-inositol 100 mg,
Pyridoxine hydrochloride 3 mg.


He also tried Becosules (Vitamin B complex) by Pfizer once a day for 1.5 month - http://www.pfizerindia.com
He was taking Mecobalamin (vit B12) separately 1500 mcg twice daily during this time. He takes this even now.

Becosules :
Calcium pantothenate 50 mg,
Vitamin B12 15 mcg,
Folic acid 1.5 mg,
Thiamine mononitrate 10 mg,
Riboflavin 10 mg,
Pyridoxine hydrochloride 3 mg,
Niacinamide 100 mg,
Vitamin C as Ascorbic acid 150 mg,
Biotin 100 mcg,

Becosules is a very famous brand in India by Pfizer (it is actually American).
Is the folic acid content of 1.5 mg OK for long term use ?

He is not sure how long to take vit B complex ,vit C.

He just takes a Becosules pill sometimes nowadays and a Vit B12 pill. But he is not taking any Vit C supplement.

Amit.
