Any supplements help? Zinc, B12, Turmeric, DHA etc

I have read research articles on the all the above possibly helping with depression. Re Omega-3's, most past studies found high EPA better than DHA, but a recently published study found high DHA alleviated anxiety whereas high EPA did not.

Who has tried any or all of these, and effects?

I did a massive Orthomolecular protocol for a while. Honestly, I think it did help. Now, I"m down to b-100 (I use time release, helps my stomach) and loads of vitamin C, plus selenium, zinc, fish oil, natural form E, and natural form beta carotene.

so...its still basically Orthomolecular, but I've managed to do surprisingly OK without the massive dose of B3 that is almost always recommended for psych cases in Orthomolecular. Maybe I'll add it back, maybe not.

taurine is calming. 4 grams/day has been studied with antipsychotics in younger psychosis people...good results, apparently.

Suntheanine-brand l-theanine is helpful for me, too. I high dose it (its an Orthomolecular thing...up on the supplements, lower the Rx dosage), but...yeah. good times.

hope this helps. sorry you're suffering.

I have found Boswellia to be pretty awesome. However its not clear whether or not it is safe long term
