Don't they get any training to know how to determine what meds will work for one person and not for another? And with every new med developed the process gets trickier and trickier.

Except Psychobabble is wearing me out, Good night......................SG.Folic acid is also common in B-Complex vit's, so a multivit and a B-Complex may give you 800 mcg.
I've seen from 1000-4000 units of fish oil, or a combo of fish oil caps and cod liver oil caps to get vit A and D.
My meds are working well for several months now. I worry a lot about having them go south on me (this is not just a psychobabble side effect:)).
