Further it appears that ADHD is not only due to low dopamine/NE availability, cause my DA is already high at 9.3 mV as evidenced by the BEAM I had at Pathmedical. My acetylcholine is 10% higher than normal. I know Ach is not very much involved here, but I wanted to mention it just the same what levels it's at.
My ADHD type (I still have to figure out which type it is from Dr. Amen's website)is not due to low DA, but low 5-HT and perhaps GABA as my GABA too is low--both GABA and 5-HT are my deficiencies. However I'm not yet clear on the DA connection with rehards to ADHD, as grape seeds helps me focus more, and what I've found regarding ADHD is that they might inhibit to breakdown (re-uptake) of dopamine and norepinephrine in certain regions of the brain--likely it could be the PFC (Pre-frontal cortex).
