I'd be interested, Mark, to know if your new doctor uses inositol?

We've had great results with this for my husband, who had a severe brain injury at age two (fell out of a second story window). While as an adult, he does function pretty well, he tends to have severe anxiety in new situations. (like traveling).
Given the plasticity of the brain at the age he fell, I think he has remodeled. The only severe deficit is he has trouble recognizing faces still today.

I started him on 1-2 grams of inositol daily about 2 yrs ago, and he is really so much more mellow! Inositol helps with glucose utilization in the brain.

So if you find out anything about this please PM me. I'd appreciate it.

I use l-tryptophan myself. I think it is very helpful. I tend to have mild depression connected to chronic pain. And the l-tryptophan helps that. (take with B6). I only use 500mg/night.
