As previously mentioned, here is my current vitamin/nutrient regimen. This continues to be subject to change as research continues. I started out with a higher dosage of some of these and then reduced down to a "maintenance" level. I have also tried some other nutrients/herbs/amino acids, but have not continued on the ones that didn’t seem to help. One of the nutrients I tried was magnesium taurate, but it didn’t seem to help with the headaches and I also had an initial negative reaction between it and the Toprol XL, so I am not taking it right now.

Thanks for any input!

Note: I am providing my neurologist with these supplement lists.
