DEAR DR. GOTT:
You wrote about a woman who couldn’t shut her brain off at night. I, too, suffered these nightly “loopy loos”.
I found that taking melatonin, GABA and 5 HTP work well for me. I started this treatment based on the theory that serotonin levels decrease in aging brains. I purchase the products from an herbal supply store. They don’t work quickly but I am now three months into treatment and my sleep pattern is nearly normal.
DEAR READER:
I am glad that you found a treatment that works for you. I am passing it on to my other readers who may benefit from it. I also ask that anyone who has tried or tries these products write me with their conclusions. I will print a follow up article with the results.
