current medication and diet

Diet: Oats in morning and night; rice, vegetables and fish curry and one piece of sliced fish either fried or curry cooked.

Medications:
Morning: one tablet of Multi B + C after breakfast
Night: two capsules of mega-3, 1/2 tablet of folic acid 5 mg, 1/4 tablet of thiamine mononitrate 100 mg

This combination gives good balance between fluent speech, mood, focus, concentration and energy. In this combination, folic acid appears to be responsible for the improvement in mood. If I don't take folic acid, then dullness and negative thoughts start appearing.

Update on 18 Feb 2018:

Diet:
Morning: 1-2 Wheat dosa/Ragi dosa + 1 Egg (Organic selenium enriched - 44 mcg of selenium per 100 g of egg; each egg approximately weighs around 60 - 80 g)
Lunch: Rice + Two vegetables + 1 egg (normal egg - no selenium enriched)
Dinner: 1-2 Wheat/Ragi Dosa + 1 Apple + 1 Orange

Medications:
Morning: 1 capsule of Blackmore Multivitamins + Minerals; 1 capsule of Blackmore Vitamin D3 1000 mcg; 25 mg of Thiamine mononitrate
Night: 25 mg of Thiamine mononitrate; 1 capsule of 500 mg of L-Tryptophan

Effects: Thiamine mononitrate used to worsen the cold intolerance. That means, If I take thiamine mononitrate, I used to feel very cold whenever the temperature goes below 25 deg C. This effect seems to be countered by intake of L-tryptophan. The sugar intake (sugar added in tea - morning and evening) seems to decrease the frequency of vocal blocks. The most effect is experienced when the refined white sugar is taken. This clearly indicates that there could be some impairment of tryptophan transport into the brain. It appears that effective tryptophan transport across blood brain barrier requires significant amount of insulin to clear the other large neutral amino acids. However, there appears to be no problem with the phenylalanine and tyrosine transport into the brain. However, this cannot be concluded.
