Hi Holden
ADD? That one came out of left field. I checked out a few web sites and I can identify with some of the characteristics. Don't know whether I'm the full blown variety though. I can't differentiate beteen anxiety and ADD symptoms.
Social anxiety is the perfect fit. Depression, obssessiveness, general anxiety, hyperactivity are familiar. I take on too much and crash and burn a lot.ADD is certainly worth pursuing in terms of looking for drugs that might help.
I printed off your info on the glutamate-glutamine cycle and tried to read it while bouncing up and down my exercise ball. I think I have oversimplified the glutamate - GABA connection!
I will try theanine, taurine and eventually Reboxetine.What are your ADD and medication experiences?
DO you suffer from social anxiety?I have often wondered if all the limitations of social anxiety were removed what would I find. Would I then go into hyperdrive doing all the stuff I haven't been able to, plus more. Perhaps social anxiety is nature's brake or a protective mechanism.
Thanks Holden. Are you a biochemist...or something like that?
