interesting that this article mentions methylcobalamin in it, and in particular its effects on sleep...
one of the main differences i have noted since beginning to take it is an increases in feeling well-rested throughout the day, despite sleeping a bit less than before; and this effect is qualitatively different then when i have a mixed-state med breakthrough, in which i feel like i need less sleep despite feeling very poorly-rested.
A plant they did not mention, but which has been found to reduce plasma cortisol through suppression of a certain immunoglobin (sorry, i upped my Keppra yesterday and my usually-sharp memory is a bit dull still and i can`t recall specifically which one) is St. John`s wort... in fact, latest research hypothesizes that this herb exerts antidepressant effects primarily through immuno-regulation as opposed to its known but relatively weaker effects on biogenic amines.
