Anonymous, I don't want to waylay this site or conversation to get too far off subject. I'm not going to comment on any specific vitamin, but a multivitamin and a generally healthy diet aren't ordinarily an adequate treatment for anxiety and depression (which, by the way, are very different from schizophrenia.) And superfoods won't do anything for anxiety and depression, unless they're on your plate or bowl rather than in a pill.
I think you're right on to point out that there is a price to be paid for getting on and off SSRI and anxiety medication. Fortunately, that is not the only way, there are natural ways to address depression, diet certainly an important one, as is counselling and psychotherapy (which is scientifically proven to work.)
Regarding diet, the articles at this page are written for women but they are universally applicable:

I'd look at them all, they work for women, men, pms, pmdd, depression, and more. I would suggest that you try out our suggestions but that you also try to find some guidance in working your way through this. You're obviously making great strides, but it is way too complicated to sort this all out yourself, based on information you find online.
