Guest guest Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 BlankI was referring to DeFelice's website that someone had posted earlier, about the serotonin factor, etc in our children. Does anyone have knowledge/experience of using 5HTP? I am wondering if it might help my middle son, who is supposedly " NT, " but I have opted to chelate him (as well as my ASD son, and my ADHD/Anxiety/Bipolar son) with ALA. So far, not noticing a huge improvement, but it's only been a few rounds. My middle son is the one who is VERY over-emotional much of the time, does tend to hand flap when excited or concentrating, and has some language delay/issues. In my heart, I just KNOW there is something wrong!! When he is sick with a virus, (or allergies are acting up), he becomes VERY sassy and snotty---so unhappy! He then breaks down and runs to me and says, " I'm sorry, mom--I just don't feel right! " He is an intense child, but such a sweet boy who tries to be good!! I am just wondering if there could be a serotonin problem with him of some sort? I have tried enzymes (he becomes even MORE emotional--lots of tantrums--even at small doses), Authia Cream (same reaction), and now ALA. I just don't know how to help him, because I can't quite figure out what is wrong! Any advice would be much appreciated.
