I have tailored high potency vitamins to my medication regimen with some good results. They have to be high potency, i.e. more than what you would find in a multivitamin. Here are some of the vitamins I like and the dosages I use:
Vitamin E 600IU
Vitamin B1 200mg
Vitamin B6 200mg
Manganese 10mg
Vitamin B12 375micrograms
Selenium 100 micrograms
Vitamin C 500mg
Magnesium 600-700mg
Calcium 750mg
Zinc 50mg
Fish oil 1,500mg
Borage oil (GLA) 1,300mg
GABA 500-750mgI am also a smoker, so by doing that I am depleting my body of vital nutrients, which is why it is important to take antioxidants like C, E, and selenium. I am wondering whether or not it is just as well to take a multivitamin and/or B-complex in addition to the above nutrients. Also, these dosages may be too much for someone who is NOT schizophrenic, i.e. a general multi may suffice for some people. Schizophrenics need lots and lots of nutrients to battle the illness, not to mention medication, which is a must for most schizophrenics.
