I would stop taking them or switch to another brand.

Even with my own high-quality, potent vitamins (I take Nutrilite) I had to stop for a while until my brain had time to adjust, then I took them only periodically. Now I'm able to take full doses because my brain has recovered just enough to process the energy that comes from the supplements. I take a lesser dose if I start the day badly.
Thanks for the tip.

Just curious, what would be the purpose of switching brands (or stopping)? You mean just to see if it makes a difference? Try different doses and brands until I feel my body is absorbing it correctly?

(This statement is not for someone with a weak stomach): When I had the flu a few days ago, I threw up the thick, enteric capsule that my Omega 3 supplement is covered in...it was weird. Talk about not dissolving correctly .

What happened: I was randomly assaulted from behind in June of 2011. I was knocked unconscious for an unknown amount of time (less than 30 minutes) and have no memory of the event. CT scan showed contusion and hematoma of the left frontal lobe. I spent 3 days in the hospital. Diagnosed with Post-Concussion Syndrome in September 2011. Currently have Medicaid, Medicare and SSI.

Current symptoms: Brain fog, mild memory issues, problems with spontaneity, occasional spacing out, word finding difficulties, tinnitus in right ear and some other things that I can't explain.

Life after the brain injury: 4 years after the injury, I'm engaged to my beautiful girlfriend of 5 years, I'm the CEO of my own business, Notorious Labs, I've taught myself how to program complex games and apps which is a feat I never thought I'd accomplish and now live a semi-normal life with very mild PCS symptoms.

Slowly but surely regaining my life back.
