> Your great senstivity to both tryptophan and several of the SSRIs still makes me think of terms of what Amen found for temporal lobe dysfunctions. Have you taken his test lately?
I didn't but I read the temporal-lobe profile.
It doesn't fit with me but it does if I refer to I use to be on serotoninergic meds. What did Amen found for temporal lobe dysfunction ? (I ordered his books on Amazon and I can hardly wait ;-)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 ;-)
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.
Any comment or confutation ?
