> I would like to know how Magnesium, Gingko Biloba, Resveratrol, Korean Ginseng and Rhodiola may be causing possible undesired effects. And what may be the the more beneficial combinations?
>
> I am currently on ritalin, valium and Rhodiola Rosea 300-600mg + 120-240mg gingko, + Resveratrol 400mg-600mg + Magnesium Glycinate 100mg daily as I withdrawal from parnate and will soon be starting zoloft for melancholic depression which I've had for 10 years caused by Accutane poisoning.
>
> Magnesium Glycinate 100mg most days but considering stopping all together since half the time it appears to cause anxiety! Why might this happen? Other times it appeared to help w/ depression symptoms. I've read it may enhance ritalin effect. Thus the increase in anxiety?
>
> Resveratrol may or may not be helping me either. It is hard to say. Gingko helps a bit w energy and some libido not sure if helps in other regards. Sometimes feels it paradoxally makes me tired.
>
> Resveratrol is an anti-oxidant. Could it be causing my ritalin and valium to have less effect?
>
> Also Korean Ginseng initially used to give me some energy and was a potent libido booster but I often find if I take it these days it may cause some tiredness. While on parnate it especially caused some sedation after initial few days of very energizing effects.
>
> I don't know which suppliments may be causing more harm than good.
>
> Also how may Vitamin D3 factor into all of this?
>
> I keep going through my journals and try to connect the dots but it's especially difficult with my cognitive and memory issues.
>
> Lou Pilder please don't respond to my topic. Your illusions of knowledge are of no interest to me. Spare me your harrasment.

>This is exactly why I'm afraid of supplements.
