Guest guest Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 For us, obsessive compulsive issues happen in direct response/proportion to underlying viral and bacterial issues. When using Valtrex for a herpes 6 issue we saw most ocd behavior disappear completely. ocd/abilify > > > Hi I know I have read it somewhere here, What is a good supplement > to use for ocd...We have a 9 year old and she weighs about 71pds.. > We had her on zoloft and it didnt really help much so we want to try > something else..

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 We tried the abilify with our son and things got worse, but the doctor was beside himself because my son is the only one that he did not see improvement in. He was and still is on Risperdal for Aggression. He has terrible OCD, but part of which I now believe is light sensitivty. Lights always have to be off and blinds need to be closed I thought were ocd issues but thru conversation in this group I now believe it is light sensitivity. The fact that the switches need to be in the same direction and the blind wands need to be turned 10 times is definetly ocd.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 This is interesting and Im sure you have already told me this. I had him on Candex and Culturelle and had some problems and stopped both. My daughter has Valtrex in the house for cold sore flare ups. Humph should I give some to my son.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 I am going to ask my doctor about this when I see him this week. My daughter is having lots of cold sores and we know from an earlier viral panel that herpes is a problem. The nurse practitioner we saw gave her some cream for the sores, but she said if they kept recurring she could give something orally. I'd like to try the valtrex. What mg. do you give and how long have you been using it? My daughter is 13. ocd/abilify > > > Hi I know I have read it somewhere here, What is a good supplement > to use for ocd...We have a 9 year old and she weighs about 71pds.. > We had her on zoloft and it didnt really help much so we want to try > something else..

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 Hi , I'm not , but I've used Valtrex for many years for my cold sores. The doses and instructions have changed several times over the years, but the last prescription I got, in 2003, read, " take two tablets today, repeat in 12 hours. " They are 1 GM caplets. I also use a cream called Denavir (penciclovir cream). It worked wonders! Three days before my wedding my lips were covered with huge cold sores. I was ready to call the whole thing off. I called the doc in a panic and he told me these two " new " drugs were out. That was eight years ago. Oh yeah, by my wedding, my lips were nearly 100% clear. In just three days.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 We used the Valtrex for 6 mo. Showed no difference/improvement in terms of lab levels of the virus, however what we saw/experienced in terms of ocd behavior disappearing and motor skills improving was proof enough for us. Because we stopped going to the doctor that prescribed it, the new doctor we saw used monolaurin and suggested we continued our enzymes to continue to treat the virus. We had 250 mg. tablets that were cut into 1/3 and we gave 4 times daily. The initial 2 weeks were not fun, but I liked the med. because unlike others it bounces around carrying out only the cells with the virus, cells not carrying it, are left alone. ocd/abilify > > > > > > > > Hi I know I have read it somewhere here, What is a good supplement > > to use for ocd...We have a 9 year old and she weighs about 71pds.. > > We had her on zoloft and it didnt really help much so we want to try > > something else..

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 Valtrex is a serious med. and has to monitored by the doctor prescribing it. Liver can take a beating with this med. and our munchkins are still developing, so not something I'd use again. We're pretty happy with the monolaurin and enzyme treatment. Of course this is combined with a whole host of supplements that are supposed to boost the immune system and repair the gut, so theoretically the body will eventually build up it's own defense to this virus. ocd/abilify >> >> >> > >> > >> > Hi I know I have read it somewhere here, What is a good supplement >> > to use for ocd...We have a 9 year old and she weighs about 71pds.. >> > We had her on zoloft and it didnt really help much so we want to > try >> > something else..

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 Thanks Right now I am so consumed with the possible thyroid issues that I am not introducing anything else to him and I dont want to skew the blood work up that he will be having done in a few weeks.
