Phyxius,
Your regimen is very low in B vitamins and the other neuro supplements.
I would not rely on the ginkgo for much effect. It has recently been shown to have much less effect that commonly promised. I have been taking it for years, too.
I would suggest you take a B-100 complex. It will have 100 mg of most B's and 100 mcgs of B-12.
I would also add A, C, D, E, niacin, folic acid, magnesium, and be sure the fish oil has a good percent of DHA and EPA. Some are very low percentage. Shoot for at least 50 to 60%.
The multi will probably have some trace elements so you can stay with it.
Regarding B-12. There are two types, some people do not absorb the cheaper version and need the methylated version. Sublingual is intended to help absorption but check it.
The important number will be what a blood test shows. You want to be at about 1000 pg/mL for B-12. (picogram per milliliter), 20 ng/mL for folate. Vitamin D helps with a myriad of other processes besides bones so you need to have good D levels.
Magnesium will help with sleep. It also helps calcium absorption. Most people are magnesium, calcium and D3 deficient.
Meat protein will help maintain some amino acids needs. If you are a vegetarian, you need to be sure to get proper amino acids.
Your post said
