Hey guys, i was just reading around on the ADD forums and i came across some supplements that were said to help out with ADD and they seem to be supplments that help out with the neuro trasmitter have you guys heard of any of the following?

 

L-tyrosine http://www.second-hand-news.com/tyrosine.html

 

Grapeseed Extract http://www.second-hand-news.com/grapeseed.html

 

Ginko Biloba http://www.second-hand-news.com/gingko.html

tyrosine stimulates dopamine = increased tics

would u recommend the 2 that wouldnt hurt me? or would they just be waste of money. FOr tics atleast..

Gingko has no benefit for tics as far as I know. It helps with memory/focus/attention

 

grapeseed extract is an excellent supplement and helpful for many conditions and never caused any problems for my son

 

I honestly cant "recommend" anything as each individual reacts differently to things.

I can tell you that Ginko and Grapeseed have come up in all of my personal (ONLINE) research. I have not added either.....I bought the Ginko, but got scared b/c my son is only 7 and it says not to give to children.......I read great things about both supplements.

When i have some time and money ill purchase it try it out and let you all know how it effects me.

I wonder what would happen if you used it for a long time, if your body would downregulate or something because of the increased dopamine, and then when you stopped using it if you would have a decrease in tics below baseline (possibly temporarily until your body readjusted to baseline).

 

Not trying it on myself, just saying.

personally I dont feel that people who have Tourette Syndrome would achieve that kind of change

 

plus the risks of adding a substantial tic trigger for someone who has TS can be very serious
