> I seem to be having a tough time cogitating and remembering these days. (And I'm young; well, in my early thirties.) I've been chalking it up to the depression and am going back on ADs (prozac). I swear I used to be smart-- valedictorian and the lot, almost 5.0 in college (on a 5.0 scale), graduate school--and now my brain grinds to a halt on the simplest of tasks. Attention is difficult, etc. First question, are these cognitive effects common to other folks' depressions? I really feel like my brain is running on about 40% capacity.

> The reason I'm posting, of course, is to ask if there are any supplements that may help to kick start the AD and restart my brain? I seem to (barely) remember a string some months back asking the same question. Can't find it through.
