Hey! OK, here's the thing: I take *lots* of supplements. To keep it simple for you, I'll divide it into my core OM line up and the add ons for overall health and specific problems (for me, skin and hair...works well in combo w/ retin-a and propecia).
Core OM line up:(1) 10 grams time release C (2 doses of 5 grams, 1 AM+1PM);(2) 1 b-100 complex, AM (ALWAYS take with food!);(3) 30mgs optizinc; (4) 400 micrograms selenium; (5) 3 grams niacinamide (2 1.5 grams sustained release tabs, one AM+1 PM); (6) tocotrienols (I was using natural form E, but tocotrienols are more potent. I take 2 "suprabio" caps daily, usually in one dose).
Seems like a lot, but most of those things are relatively inexpensive and some of them are dosed just 1x daily, so its not even a hassle.
Now, my additional supplements...
1)4mgs astaxanthin; 2)1-2 grams green tea extract; 3) 200-400mgs grape seed extract; 4) 1 cap soy isoflavones (hair); 5) natural form beta carotene; 6) mixed carotenoid supplement; 7) borage oil 8) vitamin D3
There's synergy, especially with the "core" OM line up. Personally, I think you *should* avoid Abilify if you can. That goes for any antipsychotic, no matter how "atypical." Personally, I'm working down to PRN abilify. If I start having intrusive thoughts and/or hallucinating...30mgs, ASAP. Other than that, I'm unmedicated.
Good luck to you...please keep us all posted.
