Because he needed something, and getting to a psychiatrist for meds was/is going to be at least another month or two.
I bought St. John Wart and SAMe for him. He takes the St John Wart as directed but we found that he didn't need as much SAMe as recommended. Its helped his depression and other issues a lot. This is my son Dan. He is bi-polar and other issues. And stops taking meds, And then doesn't do what he needs for his insurance all the time. So we are seeing how this works for him. But I'm interested in the B's and then D's because of his lead levels from his job. That he now gets Disability insurance from. I am not sure that part makes sense. But he worked in a battery factory and his lead would skyrocket. Donna

For some people, taking too high of Dose of SAMe can cause mania symptoms. I guess he knows that right dose for himself. M |

I started taking vitamin D because I have MS. There is a theory that vitamin D has a positive effect on the immune system and that maintaining adequate levels could reduce the frequency and/or severity of relapses.

I take 5,000iu of D3 a day too now but was on am maintaining a pretty hefty loading dose because last time I had my level drawn it was low. Most neurologists want it in the 80-100 range for MS patients, some even higher up to 125. I need to have it drawn again. I forgot to ask my PCP the last time I saw him.
