> Yes, even if it is not ideal it is better than nothing. Keep looking for something that has B3.
The multivitaminic I'm taking should have B3. Isn't Niacin another name for B3 ?
... I compared the amount of vitamins I'm taking with the quantity suggested in your article. It came out that I would have to take swallows something like ten capsules per day just to reach out the minimum suggested : o Thanks for the article, it seems I have to find something better.

I should add that I'm much more oriented to take triptophan ... I found it useful to some extent if I don't take more than 50mg per day. The days I took 100mg I got mild depressed.
This brought to my mind my over-reaction to SSRIs. In particular I had wonderful results in (reading) concentration taking 4 mg of Paxil which resulted in getting manic after 40mg. I have never thought about the possibility to take SSRIs at very low doses ... Of course I would have to lie to my psychiatrist if I don't want him to take me a lesson on the placebo effect ;-)
Therefore my plan is to continue with tripthopan and see what happens. I have noticed for sure on 500-1000mg of tyrosine what someone on this thread called "hardening of personality", so I'm a bit reluctant to take it again. But maybe trying to add it after a week or so of tripthopan could be worth of a shot.
I have mentioned to my herborist/pharmacist my concentration' problems and the fact that I took "Prozac and stuff like that" in the past. He was not particularly happy in learning this (maybe he's afraid that if I went bonkers he could have some trouble).
Anyway, he suggested me enthusiastically the combination of L-glutammate and ginko (and he seemed to know what he was talking about ;-). Have you ever taken l-glutammate ?
