Basically I have keyed in on his statement that serotonergic thing tend to aggravate these kinds of problems.
> Today I saw my psychiatrist ... he still persists in saying that an anticonvulsivant should be the first step ... and this is what Amen suggests for temporal lobe adhd ! Your intuitions are very similar to my psychiatrist's, I would say that you have to be happy about it but I don't want to offend you with this comparison ;-)

Has he mentioned a specific drug? I think it could at least be worth a trial.
> I told him also about my experiments with aminos and supplements. He seemed interested and he had nothing to object to tyrosine, triptophan or epa/dha but I said that there is no way that pospoliphides can help because of the BBB.
