I had both the pitocin and the epidural with both kids.

I had nothing with my first two ( NT ) and both pitocin and epi for my asd son due to me having a broken rib..

I wonder if this could be helpful or harmful for our kids that have actual

seizures?

It says it normalizes EEG, of course, the seizure kids all have abnormal EEG's.

I couldn't find any mention of seizures, even on their list of worse case

adverse side effects.

Does anyone have any further information? This could be exciting for those that

suffer with seizures!

Thanks.

My son doesn't have seizures so to speak..we think maybe absent seizure activity.

I would look into how seratonin can relate to seizures as this drug..Respen-A helps lower it.Thats my understanding, but still reading and trying to learn. I find it very interesting how

so many kids on the spectrum are put on SSRI's, initially do well, and then become

aggressive and/or other bad effects. My son cannot tolerate 5HTP, and gets very hyper

on it ..basically it has the opposite effect on him than it should. He doesn't tolerate any

seratonin supporters. Wondering just how many ASD kids that have syptoms of too little

seratonin may actually have too much. Seems the side effects of each problem can have some similarities. I also wonder how high seratonin may impact a childs ability to excrete metals and deal with bacteria etc. Its very interesting to say the least. I also wonder with a big chunk of our population taking SSRI's how it filters through our enviorment and water tables..this could also impact those children that didn't have a Mom use pitocin/epi. I wonder how many parents have reported their child cannot tolerate 5HTP and other seratonin supporters. I also wonder if it ever causes a seizure prone child to have more frequent seizures. So much to think about

I didn't have any Pitocin, just an epidural. Someone I know on Facebook is

trying to get a script for this, she really wants to try this for her son

(almost 5 w/history of seizures).

No medical background here...

The key ingredient in this seems to be a derivative of an herb used in ayurveda,

Sarpagandha. This is not one of the more pantry-spice kinds of ayurvedic herbs,

and is used more carefully, so I have really no personal experience with it.

I believe Sarpagandha is used in hypertension and is sedative. Its also used in

many mental health issues (more manic-not depression). And if I remember right,

its used to 'reduce' male libido. I may have to look/ask but I believe its also

used as an anti-epileptic, so it may be an option for kiddos with seizures.

I don't know near as much as most of you ladies- so just thowing this out- I

read that serotonin, or its effects are controlled by the MAO-A gene, and brains

of kids with autism have early unregulated serotonin exposure. Without

regulation, the brain eventually stops responding to the calming effect

serotonin brings.

No medical background here...The key ingredient in this seems to be a derivative of an herb used in ayurveda, Sarpagandha. This is not one of the more pantry-spice kinds of ayurvedic herbs, and is used more carefully, so I have really no personal experience with it.I believe Sarpagandha is used in hypertension and is sedative. Its also used in many mental health issues (more manic-not depression). And if I remember right, its used to 'reduce' male libido. I may have to look/ask but I believe its also used as an anti-epileptic, so it may be an option for kiddos with seizures. I don't know near as much as most of you ladies- so just thowing this out- I read that serotonin, or its effects are controlled by the MAO-A gene, and brains of kids with autism have early unregulated serotonin exposure. Without regulation, the brain eventually stops responding to the calming effect serotonin brings. > > >> > > Sorry if this has already been discussed here!
