[Guest guest]

Hello. I'm an old member who's been on 'no mail' for a couple of

years. I thought my daughter was getting better, but I've just found

out that she just wasn't talking to me about it anymore. I can't

believe we are right back where we started - very frustrating.

A symptom that I've just noticed in the last several months (maybe

even a year) is that she often won't make eye contact. She'll be

talking to a small group of friends, sometimes even telling a long

story, and she'll be looking at the wall above their heads. I know

this is a symptom of autism, but I'm pretty definite she does not

have autism. During her story, her face and voice will be quite

animated -- she's just not making eye contact. School mates have

started to tease her about this. Anyway, while doing a google search

on this symptom, I came across this 'natural' supplement called

Amoryn. Supposed to help with social anxiety. Contains:

hyperforin 18 mg

5-htp 25 mg

rhodiola rosea 70 mg

As well, selenium, some B vitamins, Vit C and some others.

I tried giving her 5-htp a couple of years ago. It seemed to make

her worse and I stopped. We've also tried rhodiola rosea, with no

results.

Anyone else see this lack of eye contact symptom? Anyone have any

experience with Amoryn. Any comments on the ingredient list of

Amoryn.

Thanks for any and all info.
