Guest guest Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 I am hearing a lot about the use of oxytocin to relieve anxiety in kids on the spectrum.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 Hi Debra, We used it for while and we could not really a definite difference. However, that was back few years ago when it just started being used for autism. The called it the love hormone . The doctor was still experimenting with dosages. We stopped using it as we moved on to the Psychiatric drugs as was having really bad aggressive episodes. I have heard of other parents that reported some positive results, but that's just like everything else, these reports are not consistent. HTH, Oxytocin I am hearing a lot about the use of oxytocin to relieve anxiety in kids on the spectrum. Does anyone have experiences they can share?

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 I wouldn't say it relieved anxiety on the whole but it did help my son be more comfortable touching other people and being touched. Overall he just seems more at ease in close spaces with people. He still gets anxious about schedule changes etc...
