Just wondering.
I stopped mine for a week and ended up in a deep feeling of rage and couldn’t follow the tv.
I think I need it. I took one today and an hour later I felt a wave of calm coming over me.
So weird.

Yes. I do. And iron. And evening primrose oil.
I don’t know it helps my mind. But I need the iron especially. Things like magnesium are calming, so might well be you noticed a difference.

Yes, I’m pretty sure it helps.

It helps if your diet is not very rich on vitamins. Although, it’s not the same.
I would buy gym packs, because usually they have more and more quantity of vitamins per pill.

I have a great multivitamin. I feel like it helps to remain healthy.

I take a daily multivitamin and can’t tell you if it helps or not. I know it is supposed to protect against dementia and that is important to me.

I used to but my dr told me I’m just “making expensive pee” so I stopped.
But I do take calcium and vitamin D because I actually need them.
The calcium is to help my broken ankle heal per the orthopedic dr, and i take 50,000 IUs of vitamin D per week because I’m deficient.

I was taking a multivitamin, but then I forgot about taking it, so I guess it didn’t help my memory much

Magnesium, Calcium, a B complex and D vitamin. I often skip a day and it doesn’t affect me in a visible way.

I love fruits and veggies, but just don’t seem to eat enough of them. So I take one multi-vitamin each day to try and make up for it.

All these replies are so comforting. My doctor told me to stop taking them but like many of you I don’t get the nutrients from my diet.
I’ve found fish oil to really help my cognition and I’m going to take a daily multivitamin too, even though I’m scared of telling my doctor. Which is stupid - it’s my body.
I take centrum multi vitamin for over 50 men’s vitamins…I think it helps me I have more energy when I take it.
I cycle through gummy men’s vitamins, magnesium, omega 3 fish oils (meaning sometimes I take but not everyday)
And just picked this up
I’d say 100% they help, that’s why we seek them out and take them
Sometimes we get too caught up in the schizophrenia diagnoses neglecting the overall health picture. We could have deficiencies in all kinds of things, never know

I take iron and D3, plus some days when my caloric intake is too low I drink an Ensure…that has a lot of vitamins and minerals in it. I should take a multivitamin but I haven’t found one that I like… perhaps I’ll try some gummy version next time I go to Wally World.
Agree. Especially with meds and sometimes not eating enough or eating vegetables, a multivitamin is not a stupid idea.

I take several different vitamins due to poor food absorption. It’s not worse than some of my other pills.
Expensive pee lol I was told the exact same thing. They don’t work.
