hi Shelley!

> I remain at 20mg Lex, added 150 then 300mg Wellbutrin XL. Began 500MCG of B-12 cause I heard someone here mention it helped.

... wonderful for me to hear you are doing well ... i cherish how long we have shared with each other here
... it makes me very happy that you are okay
... and it is good to know you are actively pursuing your recovery/good combo ...
i have a suggestion ...
... have you tried the Omega 3 oils?
... these are essential fatty acids which benefit mental health ...
we need the DHA and the EPA in particular ... you can check into these here at PsychoBabble Alternative ...
there are posts there or ask Larry Hoover there ...
he IS the expert ...
i take a gram of EPA and DHA per day ...
fish oil supplements by themselves don't have enough EPA and DHA ... plain fish oil supplements will have too much viitamin A and you can get vitamin A toxicity before you get enouugh EPA and DHA ... so fish oil has to be refined and filtered to increase their potency
do take these with a meal ... preferably your meal with the most fat content ... they can upset your stomach ...
we get Omega3, 6 and 9 oils in our diets, but not enough Omega3 ...
i have read that Omega 3 oils make up 60% of the brain's weight ... some folks call them "brain juice" ... they are credited with not only protecting neurons health and helping to heal neurons, but with supporting the growth of new neuurons ...
... and i am still on 10 mg of lexapro
(that's my med talk for our med page here ...)
there are a lot of other suggestions for supplements at Alternative ...
great to see you!
TAKE CARE!
