Guest guest Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 <<The neurologist has suggested effexor. Anyone out there have any feed back on this med>> Hi, Everyone........Gareth was on Effexor for about 6 weeks. It made him very belligerent and angry. What ever meds you do try, keep a chart with the behaviors and how those behaviors react to each med. Start at a lower dose than the NT people use because so many of us have found out that our kids can't process meds in the typical dosages. My DH is on Paxil for anxiety, but that made Gareth VERY autistic when put on it for his OCD. <,celiac/alopecia link tweet from Joan>> MB....sure wouldn't surprise me any. I have come to the realization, because of Gareth, that once a person has one autoimmune *issue* then, the chances skyrocket for another to surface, too. Take care, Everyone.
