I've only started on them for a week and I think I do need to refine it and maybe i'm taking too much. So please feel free to reply with your opinions. Thanks for your support.

Daily Vitamin Regimen

Omega 3 Nature Made 1200 mg x 4
Garden of Life Vitamin Code Multi x 4
Vitamin C 1000mg x2
B Complex 100 x2
Vitamin Dry A 10000IU x2
Vitamin D3 5000IU x2
Tumeric Supreme (Gaia Herbs) x2
New Chapter Organics Cal Mag Health x3
Garlic Tablet x1
Probiotic x1
Zyflamend (New Chapter) x2 (I'm not sure if this will help but it says it will help with body inflammation but maybe more for joints? Just saw it at Whole Foods and decieded to try it)
Arnica Montana x5 twice a day (Homeopathic)

Just picked this up today : Jarrows NeuroOptimizer (Havan't tried it yet. But it says it promotes brain health and functioning but not sure if it's for my more specific migraines) Also picked up SuperNutrition Anti Oxidant Power. There are so many antioxidant formulas out there but this one seemed more complete. Is an antioxidant formula helpful for PCS? Not sure! I need guidance! Thanks

Feverfew (read that it's good for migraines) as needed.

I'm not sure if Brand of Vitamins actually makes a difference? I'm thinking of switching my Fish Oil brand to the Garden of Life Mor-O3 (Minami Nutrition) which describes itself as a supercritical O3 Fish Oil in Triglyceride Form.

Anyway please comment! I'm not really too sure about my dosage levels as well. My dosage levels are all according to recommended serving size except for the fish oils and vitamin C which i'm doubling up on. Thanks.

As well should I be taking a separate Magnesium Citrate? (read it's good for migraines)

Thank you for your support.
I've bolded an item in your list, blue, that seems excessive safety-wise to me.

Is this betacarotene form A or real vit A (retinol)?

If real vit A, I'd suggest you reduce the dose to no more than 5,000 IU a day. Excess Vit A in retinol form has been linked to increased CSF pressure in the brain, called pseudotumor cerebri. People with a head injury don't need anything to increase that pressure.

You can safely take betacarotene however, as this has to be activated in the liver, and that is done as an as needed basis.
