I have no idea what supplements you are talking about, but I can assure you they are not necessary. Train hard, train smart, eat right.

First off, very sorry to hear about your injury, that truly sucks. I am confused though, it seems you're saying it was an assault, but I don't understand why you lost your license and everything you own because of it. If it's personal and you don't wanna say, that's cool.
Phera plex, if I'm recalling properly, is heavy duty stuff. It was a prohormone (I think it's illegal now, unsure). If it was, it needs to be treated as regular steroids, and if you're the slightest bit unsure of how to do a steroid cycle, or how it will mesh with your condition(s), then I advise you as strongly as I can to not use the stuff.
You say you don't want to juice - I'm not exaggerating here at all - using real prohormones is 'juicing' in EVERY sense of the word. Not only that, but as many here will tell you, you'd be better off just sticking to real pharmaceutical juice, as that stuff is FDA tested and researched, whereas your typical prohormone was just made by the supplement company (who, by and large, could give two ****s about your health).
You wouldn't want to take glutamine, as if you're trying to put on muscle mass, your daily protein intake will completely cover any glutamine requirements. In all honesty, it really sounds like you have a special situation that we aren't qualified to address here. With the pharmaceuticals you're taking, your physical condition, etc, you really need to talk to the doctor about what you can and cannot do. On a positive note, even without any supplements, your gains and changes in body composition will be very drastic in the beginning. But you need to talk to the doc, because you may find there's restrictions on how hard / frequently you can train, what you can take, etc.
Good luck, and hit us back when you've figured out some more info on this situation. But please, do not take the phera plex. And if you do, don't delude yourself into thinking you're not juicing. Just because something is 'gray area illegal/legal' doesn't mean it's not a steroid/pro-steroid/etc.

With brain injuries they usually take your license away and make you re-test upon an occupational therapists OK.
