Yes, I believe you. Since adding the vitamins to my meds about three years ago, I've been feeling so much better. The orthomolecular approach does work. The vitamins I take include B1, B2, B6, B12, E and C, selenium and zinc, fish and borage oils, melatonin, calcium/magnesium 1:1 ratio at bedtime. I also take 300mg of cinnamon, which has a slight AD effect for me. In the past three years, I really had to experiment a lot to determine which supplements worked the best for me and what dosages of each I could tolerate. I gave up on folic acid. It only made me worse. Occasionally, I'll take Niacin before an anxiety-provoking situation, but I don't use it everyday. I, too, am on some heavy medication---Zoloft, Lamictal, Risperdal and I suffer from bipolar/schizophrenia. I have auditory hallucinations, but the Risperdal keeps them under control. I rate myself about a 7 or 8 out of 10 with the vitamin/medicine combination, whereas before with just the meds I was probably about a 5 or 6. The meds are absolutely necessary for psychosis and mood, but the vitamins do help a lot. I'm glad someone is actually benefitting from the orthomolecular approach. I think it really does work if you can determine which supplements work best for you.
