Anybody have experience w/ these for concentration problems, hyperactivity, and/or anxiety? I would love to hear about people's experiences w/ these drugs, especially if you are diagnosed w/ ADHD and/or bipolar disorder.

I've used both in the past. I wasn't consistent enough with the Ginkgo but the Valerian I did find to be helpful, particularly as an infusion made from the loose tea. It smells and tastes awful but it does seem to be most effective as a tea. You can take the capsules but to me it's different. Unfortunately my teapot and the loose Valerian tea are no longer available to me. I'd have to start anew finding my supplies again.

I'm nearing 6 month point with Ginkho bilboba at which time I'll quit, on the advice of a clinical study reported somewhere...maybe Mayo or webMD? Anyway the effect was so immediately positive, I wonder what stopping will do to my concentration.
