> I have atypical depression that's comorbid with moderate ADD symptoms. Anybody know of any substantial research on fatty acids for ADD?
>I think I rememember hearing something
about fatty acids and ADD. But really,
as far as the naturals go for ADD, I mean
competeting against the stims like amphetamine,
I mean that's like me setting up a brocolli smoothie
stand next to a heroin dealer and hoping druggies
will switch their habits to my smoothie booth
instead. Nothing will ever beat stims (although
things will come close, like Straterra).
If you can stomach the side effects, like
forgetting you're suppose to eat lunch on
a regular basis, then it's well worth the better-than-normal effect (okay, is anyone going to argue amphetamines don't take ADD's below-average state and turn it into an above-average state? I mean let's be honest, we go from having one leg to having four).
