So, I have Adult ADHD...and I'm on Stattera for it, which is working great. The problem is, the side effects are less than desirable. One, is the lack of hunger...it has killed my appetite and two, my libido is shot to hell!! Does anyone know of any alternative/herbal, etc supplements or such that helps? I'm so tired of taking pills for one thing, and the side effects out weighing the benefits, you know? Thanks!! :D

Hi Brandylynn!

You can try the high ratio EPA to DHA omegas, or one poster here (Tracy) really likes the omegas in the form of emu oil. They seem to calm and even the mood a bit. Let yor doc know though, if you want to try them.

My son and I have also been on an amino acid protocol (TAAT)which has definitely taken the edges off. You can do a search function for that and find those posts here in the misc section.

Just browse around here in the misc section too, to see what others have to say about different things, but for us, these two have given us the best non-med results.

l-phenylanine and l-tyrosine, ginseng and ginko biloba, DMAE...

Yes, please look at my thread about diosmin. I can't tell you how good it works.

Thanks everyone!!
