I take a high dose of Ritalin for ADD. I tried
SJWort laced with Ginsing\Ginko which worked better for me than straight SJWort- calming my mind down and reducing the mental "Flat" times. I tried SJWort + Ginseng + Ginko, which got me nowhere. I seemed to get heart palpatations (which I forgot to tell my pnurse) and slight tremors in a particular finger of my left hand, which my pnurse picked up on, resulting in
a physical exam. I didn't like taking those herbs. When I stopped taking them, the palpations
and finger tremors stopped.For the past month, I've been taking Omega-3
supplements, 10 Grams Omega-3 (EPA + DHA).
It works a whole lot better for me than the Herbal
Remedies. The moods have flattend out, the "Flat"
mind does'nt at all rear its Ugly Head. I also
sleep a lot better since I stopped with the Herbal Remedies.In addition, I take Sam-e(s) to speed up the Ritalin. Sam-e acts fast for me, much like a cup
of coffee. I used drink coffee when on the Ritalin, but had real bad experience(s)- over stimulated.I never knew why my mind would go "Flat" like that, its very frustrating. When I'd go "Flat",
I'd struggle verbally, amoung other things.regards,
Pogo.
