VITAMINS suggested by our Neurologist...

Sun, 03/16/2008 - 09:52

My 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 all,

I have now been using vitamin B6 to control my seizures for over 38 years.  My seizure medication now consists of B vitamins only.  In over 38 years I have never used any anti-epileptic drugs with my B vitamin to control my seizures.

My story and some interesting links can now be found at the following URL:

**DO NOT ALTER ANY MEDICATION WITHOUT YOUR DOCTOR'S CONSENT**

Vitamins may interfere with some anti-epileptic drugs.

A high dose of vitamin B6 may cause Peripheral Neuropathy.
