VITAMINS suggested by our Neurologist...
Sun, 03/16/2008 - 09:52My son's Neurologist suggested these vitamins to help with memory, concentration, over-all brain function, healing and energy (His Topamax makes him VERY tired!). He also has "Ice-Pick" Migraines. The vitamins have really made a difference in all areas, and I would like to share them with anyone who is interested.
I would also love to hear what vitamins others are taking and the results you've had...
***Please don't start taking vitamins before you talk with your Neurologist***
Omega 3 Fish Oil, with high EPA and DHA
Magnesium Oxide- 250 mg per day (pm)
Multi Vitamin (am), which includes L-Optizinc- 30 mg

Hi
in Thailand, after a seizure, was given high dose multi-B (B3, B6, B12). Currently in the UK my doc said they were a waste of time - then a week later after blood tests put me on B9 (better known as folic acid). So ignored his previous advice and am on a mixture of B's. I figured the reason the B levels were OK was precisely because I was taking supplements, wereas I was not taking B9 tablets.
