It seems whenever I add a supplement to my medication regime I get brain zaps and then unfortunately I get scared about what is going on as I have no idea what is happening and so I stop the supplement. I tried taking a broccoli and blueberry extract and got brain zaps which is unfortunate as I was benefiting from them. I just started using a light box which also has a positive effect on my mood but I feel like I might have to stop as I am getting brain zaps. Does anyone have this experience? Perhaps it is an interaction with my medication? I have a theory that perhaps my regime is too serotonergic and any addition of a supplement that causes more serotonin i.e. light therapy or fruit or vegetable extracts could be causing a slight serotonin syndrome? However I usually have no idea what I am talking about when it comes to medication so that could be me just worrying. By the way a light box is a powerful AD for me at least I have found. Many thanks for your thoughts. Mogger
