Some people need the folic acid supplements for depression. I don't really do well on folic acid. Niacin in small amounts can help with depression, but I like to use regular Niacin rather than niacinamide. I use 250mg of sustained-release Niacin, no more than that on a daily basis, as I can not tolerate real high dosages. I say if your regimen makes you feel a lot better, stick with it. Vitamin C, green tea, etc are all very good supplements. I wonder about taurine, however. Is it really that good for depression? I have found that taking it once in a while helps with anxiety, but if I use it chronically, I start to feel as if it is not very useful at all to me. Maybe it's just me. I can't tolerate it very well, but I'm glad that you can.
