Guest guest Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 Hello, I am a mom with an 8 year old around 60#- I have never done what I am suggesting and this is just an IDEA... THIS IS WHAT I DO - I love using 5 -HTP with my son - I use it two ways orally (2x a day 50mg)and mixed with sunflower oil or coconut oil and rub on the back of his neck- I was suprised to learn that the gut uses some 80 % of the serotonin the body has... I wanted to make sure there was some for his brain so I put it on has neck. http://www.hosppract.com/issues/1999/07/gershon.htm I KNOW YOU DO NOT WANT TO USE 5-HPT WHILE ON ANY SSRI but it seems you can tell when the Zoloft wares off on you son... so...... you my want to try 5-HTP then..... I used around 15 mg in the oil and you may have to give/ rub it in as much as every three hours until the body adjusts to have enough seotonin...you would not be able to go back to the Zoloft if things got ugly....this is just some thought I had and here is another person you may want to do more reading on http://www.enzymestuff.com/rtsensorygut.htm My 2 cents Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
