Hi Rick,
I take COQ10, Curcumin and Vitamin E complex to help my brain. I was given too much anesthesia during a surgery in 2008. The supplement’s really helped me remember. Drugs are not brain friendly. I also have 2 genes that affect how I metabolize drugs. I metabolize too slowly, so they become toxic. This is why doctors play around with doses, up or down, because some people can’t tolerate them.
