The whole series of B vitamins works wonders for helping; however, you need to drink plenty of water when taking them daily. (B vitamins are very helpful in controlling appetite and some healing of the nervous system. )

If that doesn't help, I'd call my doctor and ask if I could take it one day and skip the next day, alternating. That way, you don't have so much circulating in your bloodstream at one time.

So much is in your system that you need to help metabolize it by drinking purified water and lots of it. That's the answer, IMHO.

If you use caffeine, I'd stop the coffee, chocolate, tea and anything else having caffeine in it. If you feel better after a week or two, you'll know that you have a sensitivity to
caffeine and should eliminate it from your diet.

It does affect the brain in people who have a sensitivity to caffeine. Otherwise, if you enjoy your coffee and have no reaction to the caffeine, I would continue to enjoy it.

Good wishes.

Hi Gismo,

Have you recently stopped drinking? If so how long ago? The thiamin and vitamin B are prescribed to help prevent central nervous system caused by alcoholism.

If you have recently stopped drinking, then the brain fog, may be simply your brain readjusting itself to not having alcohol in it. If you were a very heavy drinker for a long time, it's going to take some time for your brain to normal out. When I first stopped drinking, I was in a complete fog for 3 months and it took me 9 months to get back to even close to my normal level of functioning when I was drinking.

But if you're concerned I'd talk to you're prescribing therapist.
