Welcome to NeuroTalk...

I see you are taking alot of supplements, but one very important one is lacking.... magnesium.

You may find it helps you sleep better. Also helps with the metabolism of the EFAs, formation of serotonin and hence melatonin, and helps with pain control by suppressing the NMDA pain receptor activity.

Oral forms have to be chosen carefully... a good chelate form
and not the OXIDE which is found in many common supplements.

Here is my magnesium thread:

Some of us are finding a topical lotion available from CVS now very useful. You apply it anywhere on the body, or directly over problematic muscles or tightness.

The price varies due to sales online, but the lotion is in the stores too for 9.99. It is really very good. It relaxes you as well and may help with sleep if you apply it at bedtime.
