> Okay, now I've taken supplements in the past before, but I'm not sure I was doing it right... nor if there were other things I could add to improve the results. Right now I'm taking a daily multivitamin (Theragran-M), a B-complex with added vitamin C, vitamin E, picamilon, B-6, l-tyrosine and chromium polynicotinate. I'm sure I should add fish oil back in to my regimen, but what dose? Also, should these supplements be taken with or without food? I know l-tyrosine should be taken on an empty stomach, and the vitamin E and fish oil with food. I also take gamma valerolactone occasionally. I'm sure I should be taking a calcium supplement, as I'm on Atkins (coral calcium?) and probably a potassium supplement, though they don't manufacture them in high enough doses for OTC use. The prescriptions I take are Lexapro (30mg), Tranxene-SD (44.5mg), Neurontin (2400mg), and Soma (700mg). Any insight? The herbal thing (valerian, passion flower, kava, etc.) never seemed to work for me, so I'm not a big fan of those.

> Thanks in advance!All I'm taking right now is SAM-e 600 mg a day and a B-complex + C tablet every day. I've been doing this for over a week, and I believe it has helped me not want to kill myself - though I am still suffering. I feel a bit more alive than I did 2 weeks ago.
