The new products and me -
Here is how things are going without my beCalmd.
My focus isn't as great as it was while I was on the beCalmd, this is most likely because I have more pills to remember to take and have to take the right combo to get that effect.(Glutamine, Phenylalanine, and 5-HTP)
I have added GABA which I would only recomend if your child is under the care of a nutritionalist or if you do research yourself and determine this is the correct supplement for you or your child. This supplement can be used in some cases in place of medications such as depakote and neurontin. I take it at bedtime and it helps me sleep. It also acts as a great anti anxiety.
The taurine seems to help a lot with movements. Not always moving around, and seems like my spacial sense has improved (not banging into the edge of tables or walls as much)
The theanine seems to be a great anti anxiety. As well as a great sleep aid at higher doses, it does produce a higher amount of slow brain waves (which may help some people with anxiety to focus better but may not be so great for all ADDers, depending on the subtype, because slow brain waves can be a problem for some ADDers)
