Zo, there IS something I have found for the ADHD that doesn't cause anxiety... I tried it last year during a seasonal depressive episode and it helped. Now, I am on it again for the same time of year. Nortripytline-just 10mg midday. It has REALLY helped the ADHD, AND I haven't gotten hypo on it like Desipramine did me. This is the end of the 3rd week on the very lowdose NT and I can hear words in songs again and can listen to people-like on Addrall-but without the edginess! It definitely is the NE that is helping. I don't notice any aggravated cycling on it either and I am also taking a smidge (12.5mg) of Zoloft with it. This is a new interesting combo: Zoloft+Nortripytline , Neurontin+Klonopin. I can attribute the *lack* of depression and attentional improvement for sure to the NT. Been sleeping a fairly decent 8 hours or so.

> Thanks, Mitch. I'm excited about trying the fish oil, will stock up on pickled ginger. . .that should help! Wish the flaxseed Omega-3 had the right ratio.
