Hola Hombre.
> Scott, that really sucks about the positive effects of Marplan petering out.
It has not left me in a very hopeful state of mind. I have all but given up on the idea that I will ever enjoy the feeling of being alive.
> I'm going out on a limb and I hope I'm not derailing the thread:
Not at all.
> Do you think feel that there are any nutritional factors that have influenced the success of any of the medications you've taken?
My first reaction is to say no. I have tried taking megadoses of vitamins for years at a time. However, my mind remains open to the possibility that I just wasn't taking the right ones. I am currently interested in taking fish oil and NAC (N-acetylcysteine)
> I've noticed that a lack of certain things (e.g. magnesium, zinc) can lead to temporary poop-out symptoms which resolve after said nutrients are reintroduced in sufficient quantity for a sufficient amount of time.Where have you observed this to happen?
It is just as daunting a project to consider the myriad combinations of supplements as it is of drugs. At this point, I am only taking a multivitamin.
Thank you *very* much for your input.

climb to get there.
