Thanks for all of the info Patient and Lar. I will start with a vitamin/mineral supplement and Fish oil tomorrow as well as continuing with B supplements. I am going to do the urine test that my pharmasist gave me just out of curiousity. I just have a few more questions.
1) With a B complex, is there any danger of overload? I have Glycogenics B-Complex which says to take twice daily which seems odd as all of the B's have between 200% and 4000% of RDA per capsule. My doc once mentioned that if you take too much vitamin B your body will quit producing it...Any comments?
2) Should I start the Amino Acid complex at the same time as the rest. I have read some pretty compelling evidence that alot of the AAs are at play in depression, especially L-Tyrosine, L-Tryptophan and L-Glutamine. Is it good to take the complex or should specific amino acids be targeted?
3) In the amino acid class, is L-Glutamic Acid the same as L-Glutamine?
4) Far from having concerns with insomnia, I am experiencing extreme hypersomnia. Today I got up at 9AM and read some, worked out and made some breakfast. I was so tired afterward that I took a nap from 2-4. The other day I fell asleep at 7:30PM and didn't wake up until 9:30 AM the next day. I pretty much need 10-12 hours of sleep a night and then I still barely function. I do not know if it is the meds I am on or a combination of that and depression. Do you have any ideas of what might help with that??
Thanks for any input.
