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
I am so happy to see this

I am so happy to see this post! I am 23, haven't had a seizure (grand mal) in 4 years due to my switch to Topamax and Kepra. I feel my Topamax dumbs down my vocabulary, i've always thought that unfortunately, since 16. But it is worth the bonus of no seizures. It makes me very sleepy as well, taking one in the morning and 2 at night, but i also take Adderal 30mg for my adhd. My doctor has never recommended any vitamins, so I've taken it upon myself to try some on my own. Not good, I know, but my neurologist is a Hi- Bye kind of doctor. Vitamin D gives me unbearable heartburn. I am scared to try anything else at the moment, but I am a very skinny, always cold person and I know i should take vitamins.
