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
Can I ask what brand these

Can I ask what brand these products are? I have tried so many different brands for my son. I am finding out he has such a fast metabolism that the vitamins increase it even more which metabolizes his medicine in his system too fast. Yesterday I started him on B12 and this morning he had a terrible seizure at the time of his morning dose of medicine. I have eliminated anything that contains herbs in the formulas but its hard to find plain multi vitamins. Ready to give up on vitamins but I know he needs supplementation. We switched to a new neurologist and need to get his thoughts on supplements. Our old neurologist said he can take them but there is always an issue after we start taking them.
