zinc picolinate reaction -- Dana and all

[Guest guest]

I've been following the other chain re: zinc and copper with interest

and would like to present our beginning experience with zinc

picolinate. Pfeiffer has recommended the zinc p., 30 mgs, in

addition to the 25 mgs. of Zinc Kreb's Chelates my ds gets through

BrainChild. We started with about 10 mgs yesterday morning (in case

of hyperactivity) with no problems. This morning I threw caution to

the wind (very unlike me) and gave him probably 20-25 mgs. No

hyperactivity, but such sadness! He has cried three times today for

no apparent reason. That really really sad cry, where the mouth

turns down and quivers, the eyes fill slowly, then the sobs. He

won't leave me for more than five minutes. (I'm typing fast.) Could

this be the zinc p? Has anyone else seen this reaction? Is this

adjustment or intolerance? I'm thinking about giving it at night

instead so he'll possibly sleep through the sadness, but if it's

intolerance I don't want to push it...

TIA,
