Hello, long time lurker here looking for input on supplements I could add to my regimen to potentially help my brain recover from long term drug use.
I have been clean for 9 months. I am a former IV methamphetamine addict, alcoholic and occasional heroin user, though I have put many substances of ill repute into my body.
I am diagnosed with OCD, MDD and PTSD. I think my drug use stemmed as a coping mechanism to deal with these diagnoses.
Life is very good now, overall. My main gripes are memory issues, reoccurring depression and motivation issues. I have trouble staying on task as well.
I experience anorgasmia (or don't experience which I think is likely tied to the SSRI. I am hesitant to lower my dosage anytime soon, though my doctor advised me I could do that, or raise my dose of Wellbutrin.
Currently I take
Wellbutrin 150mg XL for depression
Lexapro 20mg for depression/OCD
Gabapentin 1800mg spaced 600 tid for anxiety
Ashwagandha 2 pills at night
Fish oil
I have a bunch of supplements sitting around, but I am hesitant to dive into them as I have a tendency to become overly obsessed with them, which is why I am seeking others perspectives on the matter.
I don't eat much, but when I do it is fairly health. I exercise, though I could always exercise more.
I am open to any critique you may offer. Thank you!
