Hmm, Thankyou, sir, for the detailed suggestion. I'm not sure whether some of those substances are an option for a depressive: b6 is fine, though its effect seems to disappear quickly, but zinc and probably vitamin C are both depressogenic, for me, so...I think that's a pretty bad idea in my case or possibly of other severe depressives. The dose of melatonin you suggest would also definitely depress me--actually, any dose does. Believe me: I've tried that one a lot. Thanks much for your contribution. I am taking vitamin E, and I can try to add niacinamide if necessary (do you know what the rationale for the latter is??

Time release b vitamins I have no problem with--but, let's face it, benzos are problematic when used in the long term (which I'm already doing, I admit, but I feel I have to limit my dosage).

In my experience, Remeron is a bit of a wildcard--I bet it cures some folks akathisia, and makes it worse in others. That'd be a big thing to add, but thanks for suggesting!
