I’m a firm believer in supplements. I even use a supplement for my hypothyroid and get better results than any HPOT med I’ve tried. Most of what I take them for is physical but it’s all connected, isn’t it. I do agree with letting your doc know...but many times they say they aren’t convinced they work. They aren’t me. I do keep a journal and make notes as to what I add or stop taking and write down anything I notice regarding better or worse or...just different or odd. As long as I make sure nothing classes with my script I do take...high BP med, neurontin and flexerel...I’m fine. I take a liquid lithium in veggie caps unless I’m traveling then I switch to lithium ornate. I refuse to take the script carbonate version. I’m old and I do what i want.
