Hi Mark, thank you so much for you comprehensive response.

I have become a little averse to the vitamin regimen as I'm not an expert, and haven't had great success with it to date.

One specialist recommended I take Vitamin D and a Fish Oil. Specifically these two:

Caruso's Natural Health Ultra Max Vitamin D3 1,000IU

BioCeuticals UltraClean EPA/DHA Plus

I took these for months and didn't notice a symptom change.

I was then recommended a nighttime magnesium:

BioCeuticals Ultra Muscleze Night

I think over an extended period the magnesium might have been helpful. However, it gave me incredibly vivid dream/nightmares, which I found outweighed the benefit.

I switched to this magnesium because I could take it in the day but the taste was horrendous:

BioCeuticals Ultra Muscleze Energy


My neurologist recommended 400mg Vitamin B2. I was taking this but there was a dosage issue as this is only 100mg:

Nature's Own Vitamin B2 100mg

I was then recommended curcumin, brahmi and ginkgo biloba as found in these:

Blackmores Brain Active

Nature's Own Focus & Perform

All of these showed no improvements but I didn't take it in a controlled way - (i.e. I had so many other variables changing at the same time).

Finally, I was recommended this B complex (I have it but haven't taken it yet):

BioCeuticals Mega B Q10

The only other thing I have done is research the magnesium and was thinking of changing to one of these three:

Nature's Own Magnesium Chelate 500mg

Doctor's Best Magnesium Chelated

Neutralife Magnesium Chelate

Sorry for so many links but I didn't know how else to get you the information.

Right now, from a medication stand point, I'm almost down to nothing so it would be a good time to introduce a vitamin regimen.

Your recommendation is to start with B-12, B-50 Complex, D-3, Fish Oil, and Magnesium. I can order from the iherb.com if that is familiar to you, alternatively I can get any of the products in the links (so if that vitamin D or fish oil, etc is suitable I can easily get that). Could you give me any recommendations on exactly what to take now, in what dosage, and how you would recommend monitoring the vitamins and assessing the benefit?
