> Under-Methylation

> Many patients with obsessive-compulsive tendencies, oppositional-defiant disorder, or seasonal depression are under-methylated which is associated with low serotonin levels. They generally exhibit seasonal allergies, perfectionism, competitiveness, and other distinctive symptoms and traits. They have a genetic tendency to be very depressed in calcium, magnesium, methionine, and Vitamin B-6 with excessive levels of folic acid. These under-methylated persons may benefit nicely from Paxil, Zoloft, and other serotonin-enhancing medications, although nasty side effects are common. A more natural approach is to directly correct the underlying problem using methionine, calcium, magnesium, and B-6. SAMe, St. John?s Wort, Kava Kava, and inositol are also very useful in treating these individuals.

I deviate from this in that Prozac and Paxil made me complacent and aggravated my inattentive symptoms. Inattention and pyschomotor retardation are my primary and consistent problems with mood problems being secondary and transient (i.e. dopamine and norepinepherine are more critical to me than serotonin I believe).
