An alternative to ADD drugs?

[hairforever]

Since this is the natural forum, I have to ask you guys, what's a good alternative for ADD drugs? I don't wanna be on concerta forever. It's not cheap as well. I only take them when I have exams, so I'm not really taking them now.

I read about 5-htp, does that help?

I'm taking 6g of fish oil everyday btw.

Get a labor intensive job like in construction. If that doesn't mellow you out, add on a kickboxing class after that, 5 days a week.

I think there was some studies done on Pycnogenol and ADD.

hairforever - Check out Peanhance by Nutricology, it's a natural source of PEA with no sides. It satisfy healthy dopamine release which is usually low among those with ADD.

cpio mentioned Pycnogenol, this stuff does help a lot of people.

Good to rule out any metals, wheat/gluten intolerance, Candida, etc.

yea espio, i've been working out.

wow, i haven't heard of all these before. I will definitely take a look at PeaNhance, Phosphatidylserine and Pycnogenol pine bark. very interesting stuff indeed. now i can have more variety instead of the usual fish oil. thanks guys!

although with the fish oil, i noticed that i can actually wake up on time when the alarm rings, instead of snoozing and waking up a few hours later though.
