i agree. i don't think of my supplements as "alternative medicine," I think of them as potentially helpful, low cost add-ons. for me...high dose b-vitamins, antioxidants, etc. don't do much for the core psych problems, --but-- i tolerate my Rx psych drugs much better, so...I -personally- find it worthwhile, -for me- . other people may be able to tolerate 'atypicals' and such without vitamins, and that's wonderful.
