Hi Essence,
> Has anyone heard or tried this natural remedy for ADD or Depression? My 15 yr old son tried Wellbutrin for Depression, anxiety and ADD and went totally loopy on it. Wondering if this natural remedy is as effective as their ad says it is.
I tired beCalm'd several years ago. The first capsule I took made me very irritable. At the time, I suspected that is was the DL-phenylalanine that did not agree with me. Unfortunately, I ordered four bottles of the stuff, all of which now reside in my junk box of failed supplements.
I'm BPII, so just because it did not work for me, this doesn't necessarily mean it will not work for your son’s ADD.
As an aside, I'm in the sixth week of a trial of the OTC Enada NADH for the treatment of the atypical depressive side of my BPII disorder. So far the results are truly remarkable. Time will tell regarding its long-term effectiveness. I also take 600 mg/day of Lithobid.
Enada NADH is highly dopaminergic, so it seems logical that it might help ADHD/ADD, but I don't know for sure one way or the other on this.
