Im currently taking:
60mg Nardil - 30mg morn, 30mg afternoon
Centrum Silver, 2500 mcg biotin, 1200mg Fish Oil, 100 mg B6 All in the afternoon
5mg Olanzapine, 6mg melatonin bedtime
Thinking of adding: L-theanine, magnesium, folic acid
Id like to wean off Olanzapine as its a weightgainer and I didnt notice any improvement in mood when off Nardil
Current symptoms- depression, anxiety, insomnia (depression is decreasing as Im starting to feel Nardil working)
Any suggestions as far as adding or subtracting?
Thanks, Jade

Methylfolate (the activated version of folic acid) has been FDA approved as an adjunct (Deplin). Here in Canada you can get lower doses of methylfolate over the counter. Methylfolate + nardil could be very effective. It is a triple monoamine precursor.

I take Metformin and my Folate was crazy high. I had to quit Methylfolate.

I now take DL-Phenylalanine with Nardil 45, Seroquel 50 at hs and Ritalin(5 mg). It has been the key for a reduction in persistent suicidal ideation. I get it online. My doctors dont know anything about it. It is a precursor of dopamine and other neurotransmitters.
I did take Deplin years ago when it first came out. It did not add anything to my treatment improvement. Others have success. But the DL is helping me since I added it about a year ago after receiving 13 IV treatments With Ketsmine. Maybe getting Ketamine improved my neuro-connectivity to allowing the meds working more effectively.
All I know is that Im in a much better place since trying Ketamine and adding DL. My experiment With meds/other treatments is 30 years in the making.
