Supplements for Anxiety, Brain Function

Posted by papillon2 on January 31, 2012, at 23:19:14

Hi guys,

My psychiatrist refuses to prescribe anything other than anti-psychotics for anxiety so I am looking into the supplement route. If there is something that will also help with my brain that would be brilliant as my thinking skills and memory are shot by depression.

I already do therapy/CBT/DBT but this is a constant unnerving feeling that is really uncomfortable and distressing. I'm crawling out of my skin. I can't THINK my way out of it, just try to freaking put up with it without doing anything stupid and I'm sick of it. </rant>

Any suggestions? It's important that whatever I take does not mess with the following meds:
- Nortriptyline 100mg
- Lamictal 200mg
- Yaz (Drospirenone/Ethinyl Estradiol)
- Aspirin 100mg

I currently take the following supplements:
- Vitamin B Complex (B1 50mg, B2 30mg, Nicotinamide 100mg, B5 45.8mg, B6 50mg, B12 50µg, Biotin 50µg, Choline bitartrate 50mg, Inositol 50mg, Folic acid 300µg)
- Fish Oil capsules, combined daily intake of EPA 703.4mg and DHA 496.6mg
- Vitamin D 1000IU
- Calcium 600mg (also containing Cholecalciferol 10mcg (400IU Vit D3), Magnesium 50mg, Zinc 7.5mg, Copper 1mg, Manganese 1.8mg)

Thank you for reading.
