"one of my favorite supplements for ADHD/ADD is tyrosine. it helps to improve the dopamine levels in the brain which is what the stimulant meds do. depending on the severity of the ADHD/ADD you may still need to have stimulant meds but with both my kids I was able to cut the meds by half and cut the side effects by at least half.
having taken the stimulant meds and tyrosine myself I can tell you how much better I feel with tyrosine rather than the stimulant meds. I would much rather be on tyrosine you feel much more alert and able to think even first thing in the morning.
been on it for 5 year and still believe in it benefits.
it should not be combinded with antidepresents with out drs understanding.
and for a small handfull of people it makes them anxious or cranky... be aware and if it occures simply stop the tyrosine for a week and try again might have been a bad day... if it happens again it may not be for you or your child.
but it is safe and worth a try.. when it works it is wonderful"
