No.: Generally speaking, omega's have not shown to be of any benefit it treating adhd, and have shown no outcome improvement in treatment of vascular disease. Acetylcholine has only specialized uses for specific syndromes under the care of physicians. Consult your doctor if your own syndrome is not improving; there may be more than one disorder present.

ADHD acetylcholine: Vanderbilt university medical center notes that combined adhd patients have an altered choline transporter gene. Choline, the precursor to acetylcholine, also influences neural communication, like norepinephrine and dopamine. However, no medications for adhd currently on the market target this neurotransmitter. Psychcentral.Com/lib/neurotransmitters-involved-in-adhd/... It does appear that omega-3 fatty acids however may be helpful at least to some degree in alleviating the adhd.
