Hi. I just wanted to update my nutritional regimen for depression. In the past, I've tried many different nutrients. To date, this is what I have been using and the corresponding dosages. I also have schizophrenia, but it is in remission with medication. The depression however persisted after the psychosis became manageable. Perhaps these vitamins will help you too if you are not getting everything out of your medicine. I've combined medicine with good nutrition and it works if you know how to do it properly. This is my regimen. Hope you like it:
Morning--I take 50mg of B1, 50mg of B6, and 200IU of vitamin E with my morning medication (Zoloft, Risperdal).At 11:00 A.M. I take 500mg of vitamin C, 1,500mg of fish oil, and 1,300mg of borage oil
At 12:00 PM I take 375micrograms of B12 + 200mg of Magnesium Citrate.
Finally, at 8:00 PM (Bedtime) I take my nighttime meds (Risperdal) with the following vitamins: 50mg B2, 100mg B1, 400IU of vitamin E, 500mg GABA, 1mg of melatonin, 100mcg of selenium, and a Centrum multivitamin.
That's it right now!! Could change, but we will see. I'm always evolving. If you have depression, these vitamins may help you, but I'm not a doctor so I don't know for sure that this regimen will benefit everybody. It seems that on this site, everybody has a different regimen unique to his/her own needs. But I thought I would just share what I am doing lately.
Best of luck to all of you out there on Dr. Bob's Homepage.
