Hi Laurie, I couldn' tfind a lot on this, but from what I have read it is about Niacin and the need for the body to have extra. I found this after a search on an engine . I believe it is from schwab:

I hope it helps a little anyhow

Yes, it is usually in a B vitamin and supposed to have a calming affect. But my son can't tolerate taking it; it makes him argumentative clearly. Pfeiffer recommended 500 mg 3 times a day for us. We did fair with the one at bedtime, noticing just slight changes. But when we added the a.m. one, there were clear differences and they were not good.

On Amen's website, he also recommends inositol, but not at such high levels. I'd say it is worth a try, and you'll soon see if it works or not. Good luck.
