Ordinary language is necessarily inaccurate but his inaccuracy is useful for many purposes.I don't think "selves" is quite the right word as these subroutines are too fragmentary on their own.
Looking at my own post I think "illusion" is also not a good word choice, as having a sense of proper self is a indication that these routines are well integrated.
Tourette's is one disorder where a subroutine or set of them makes their presence known by failing to cooperate fully. Tourette-ers often speak of the tics and rituals coming from "It", separate from what they percieve as their own self.
People who have had their corpus callosum cut can be trained to perform certain tasks while blindfolded. When the blindfold is removed so they can see themselves performing that task they'll remark that "I didn't do that!" or something on that order. The "I" in this case being the set of routines incorportating language, on the left side of the brain.

Sorry DSCH I was saying something different, and not very important. I was just saying that even if the sense of having a self doesn't indicate there is something like the self, we have to use words like "I" and "You" because they're useful.
I'm beginning to think triptophan is not for me. It makes some of my ADHD syntoms worse and makes me more argumentative. Now it's out and I can feel it's out.
Can you help me in make the picture clearer ?
My syntomps (without any meds) are:
Careless about the future.
Tendency to procrastinate.
No anxiety.
No depression.
Problems in concentrating in reading, watching a movie, and so on
Problems in concentrating gets worse when I try to concentrate
Daydreaming most part of the day
Dyslexic sometimes (anyway I'm not sure "dyslexic" is the right term)
Easily bored (expecially when I'm alone)
Shy
I interrupt people when they talk to say stupid (sometimes funny) things
Egocentric
Not agitated
Problems with motivation
Big problems with organization
Problems with autorithy and following rules
Problems with following also the rules I give to myself
Incostant in relationships
"I don't know today what I'll do tomorrow and I don't know now what I'll do after this posting"
...In your opinion could all this indicate some other kind of ADHD (Amen types) other than inhattentive ?

> Problems in concentrating in reading, watching a movie, and so on
> Problems in concentrating gets worse when I try to concentrate
> Daydreaming most part of the dayAgain, generally common. Daydreaming would tend to point towards inattentive-type, while activities involving physical movement more classic ADHD.
> Dyslexic sometimes (anyway I'm not sure "dyslexic" is the right term)
Trouble intrepreting letters, numbers, writing mistakes/transpositions, spelling? Temporal lobe?
> Easily bored (expecially when I'm alone)Common to multiple types. Could be a sign that you are naturally extrovert.
> Shy
Maybe inattentive. Maybe not even necessarily morbid though. ;-) Perhaps a sign of mild social anxiety (yes you can be an extrovert and have this too! it just makes life that much more difficult) ;-)
> I interrupt people when they talk to say stupid (sometimes funny) things
Classic ADHD mostly. But this is something in Tourette's I believe too. Temporal lobe?
> Egocentric
Normal. LOL :-D
> Not agitated
Inattentive type.
> Problems with motivation
> Big problems with organizationCommon to all basically.
> Problems with autorithy and following rules
> Problems with following also the rules I give to myselfSomewhat more interesting and characteristic I think. Some of that oppositional-defiant going on maybe. Once again, Touretters can have this too. Temporal lobe?
> Incostant in relationships
> "I don't know today what I'll do tomorrow and I don't know now what I'll do after this posting"Common to all types.
OK... based on this what do I think?
I think we can safely elminate limbic ADD.
The oppositional behavior, blurted witicisms are not common to straight inattentive type ADD. I think we can set that aside too.
You are not restless or agitated though and tend towards daydreaming so I will set aside classic ADHD.
OK, we are left with:
Overfocus ADD
http://www.mindfixers.com/amensub3.html
(OCD + ADD)We've been here already though. Why did Anafranil, which was a godsend for your study habits and writing (your Anfranil posts remain by far the superior in terms of your writing to the Board... but maybe not when it comes to actually *communicating*!), make so many over things worse? Amen prefers Effexor, but that's basically a cleaner version of Anafranil's psychopharmacological profile (no receptor anatagonisms). I think we should concentrate on the remaining two then.
Temporal lobe ADD
http://www.mindfixers.com/amensub5.html
(aggression, paranoia, atypical pains, vision/reading problems + ADD)Ring-of-fire ADD
http://www.mindfixers.com/amensub6.html
(resembles bipolar disorder in certain respects, takes elements from overfocus and temporal lobe ADD)Anti-convulsants are what Amen usually resorts to for TL-ADD and RoF-ADD.
Serotonergic meds (and by extension probably tryptophan as well) tend to make temporal lobe problems worse, but help the cingulate problems. This might be the explanation for your mixed responses to Anafranil, SSRIs, and tryptophan.
Here are temporal lobe supplements according to Amen:
http://www.brainplace.com/bp/supplements/default.aspGABA (but does this cross the BBB?)
Phosphatidylserine (or boost B12, folic acid, essential fatty acids, and the other phosphatidyls (i.e fish oil and lecithin))
Gingko
Vitamin E
Ibuprofen (anti-inflammatory)I would say niacin/niacinamide (which your multi lacks IIRC) would be a good addition to the list. Picamilon (Niacin bonded to GABA) might even be ideal.
I think we have an explanation for why gingko and omega-3 have been better for you than the others so far.

I didn't properly cap the last post off.
Since Anafranil and tryptophan help your "concentration" I think that's a sign of cingulate trouble (overfocus into dreamland?).
The oppositional-type stuff, the physical "oddities" (pains), and their becoming worse on tryptophan (and anafranil too?) point towards the temporal lobes.
Therefore, I think RoF-ADD makes the most sense now. In your case I think (sans meds) the cingulate problems dominate somewhat. On most meds you help the cingulate but then the temporal lobes get worse.
If you take stuff like gingko, GABA (or picamilon), niacinamide, omega-3, and magnesium, you might be able to start tolerating some tryptophan or St. John's Wort.
Amen, in his book "Healing ADD", tells of a juvenile patient with RoF-ADD who benefited greatly from a combination of GABA, omega-3, and SJW.

In reply to My (non-MD'ed) conclusion: moderate, skewed RoF » francesco, posted by DSCH on November 21, 2003, at 20:15:58
Temporal lobe ADD causes symptoms of inattention and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity, plus mood instability, aggression, mild paranoia, anxiety with little provocation, atypical headaches or abdominal pain, visual or auditory illusions, and learning problems (especially reading and auditory processing).
OK. What follows is me without any meds or supplements:
Inattention yes
Hyperactivity no
Impulsivity yesMood instability yes
Aggression no
Mild paranoia no
Anxiety with little provocation noAtypical headaches or abdominal pain NO
(this is important, since the above syntomps seem to depend on what you mean with every single term)Visually or auditory illusions NO
(idem)Learning problem yes
I'll try to do the same for all the other subtypes. Thank you for coaching ;-)

The Ring of Fire is a name given to describe the condition of a person who has at least three of the ADD subtypes.
: o cool ! ;-)
may be oppositional or aggressive
oppositional yes/no (depends on situation ...)
aggressive yes/no (depends on definition ...)
is often very hyper or hyperverbal
very hyper no, hyperverbal yes ===> YES
is easily distracted or has too many thoughts.
Sometimes the first and the other times the second
===> YESHe/she may experience moodiness
YES
cyclic behavioral changes
yes/no (don't know how cyclic they are)
or hypersensitivity to light, sound, taste or touch.
NO
>>> Usually the over-active Cingulate and Temporal Lobe, and one or two of the Limbic or pre-frontal types are involved.
Which are the pre-frontal types ?
I think inattentive is a big yes for me. Is it compatible with RoF ?
(Ring of fire is a very cool name ! Anyway, I ordered some Amen's book so, I'll have something to do in the next weeks ;-)

In the meantime you can take questionaires on his websites and maybe even join the forum he has over there.
Maybe you could ask around with your university contacts and see if any university clinic in Italy has SPECT, fMRI, or PET. Perhaps some researcher might be interested in seeing your mixed responses (scan non-medicated, scan on-Anafranil, etc.).

Just thought the TMG-following folks should know that I am definately having a decline in my mood and energy and motivation which doesn't manifest as a fog, clutter, or dirtiness in my faculties (which is what I sense as my number one indicator of things going well or not). I have had some trouble keeping to a regular eating/supplement and sleep schedule of late, so I think some inadequacy in the regimen is getting amplified as the regimen is disrupted.
I might try adding tyrosine back in the morning and 5-HTP at night.
Ideas?

> Ideas?I already popped off with some ideas here, http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/alter/20031122/msgs/282451.html. The downswing coincided with the layoff, right? Which is stressful presumably, so reading Larry's comment again,
"Stress blocks the normal recycling of homocysteine to methionine. Homocysteine accumulates while SAMe is depleted. You could take SAMe, but that doesn't fix the homocysteine problem. In fact, it makes it worse. Betaine induces an enzyme (the concentration of the enzyme increases if betaine is detected) called betaine-homocysteine methyltransferase. So, that will recycle homocysteine."
I wonder if it would be helpful to take more TMG?Or other anti-homocysteine factors?
In general, do you know what seems to work for you for stress? I always take more magnesium, for instance, and take a look at what else I may be getting too much of (for me, calcium is a culprit).
But also it sounds like a good idea to try tyrosine and/or 5-HTP again. I took 1000 mg of tyrosine yesterday and less TMG and felt better.

I've also been naughty and drinking quite a bit of margarita mix recently. I'm sure that wasn't helping me out at all. Anyway, it's gone now and I can't afford to buy more of it! :-)
Tonight I got some new stuff to try out over the coming weeks: gingko, methylcobalamin, Idebenone, and phosphatidyl serine. I returned the Piracetam as it wasn't doing anything I could notice (that's what allowed me to get the Idebenone and PS, funds are getting tight again). :-/

I've been taking gingko for about 2 months now. I don't notice any difference but perhaps it's part of the "I feel better" package in some way. I've also been taking methylcobalamin for about 6 weeks too.
Are you still taking TMG -- more, or less than before?

As my patience is limited at this point, I am going to "throw the kitchen sink" at myself and see where I stand a month from now. I'm going to sit down and write up a regimen based on my readings and try as much as possible to stick to it. Economy and fine tuning can come later.
Hopefully I will have job next week and some money coming in again.

Anyway it seems that I'm a step from 'truth' about my problems with your very careful and kind help. Sorry for this 'sleepy' post but I had to take a benzo this evening because the worsening of my temporal issue on triptophan made it necessary : / Hope to substitute benzo with something more appropriate as far as possibile.
