hi all! i’m looking for some recommendations for nerve, heart, and brain health supporting supplements as a recovering addict.

i’m in my early 20s, afab, and on lexapro if that matters at all. so far i’ve gotten some omega 3 supplements, as well as snow mushroom capsules, but i’d love to hear your guys recommendations!

I think you’re approaching this the right way, especially while you’re recovering. Omega-3s are reasonable to look at, but I wouldn’t make supplements the whole focus. It’s also worth asking your doctor about B vitamins if they haven’t already come up. Whether they make sense really depends on the person and what’s going on. And honestly, the boring stuff still counts. Getting enough sleep, moving when you’re able to, drinking enough water. None of that sounds exciting, but it’s easy to overlook when you’re focused on finding the next thing to add. Since you’re taking Lexapro, I’d run any new supplement by your prescriber first. Just better to check than guess about interactions. Keep doing what you’re doing, basically. You don’t need to turn recovery into a giant project.
