...Re: OT - Does anybody have their child taking Zoloft for OCD

[Guest guest]

I'd like to get some feedback to my situation if someone can do that:

My son is started with a new doc who prescribed Paxil 10mg. I gave it to him

for two days then got scared out of my mind and haven't given it to him since.

I have given him 5htp and didn't have much of an effect at 50mg. once per day.

I wonder would GABA possibly help him? Would I need to continue the 5htp and

GABA to see a difference? When we were at the doc she wanted him to try the

Paxil or Zoloft. He has really bad handwriting which is improving, he has

autism but the doc says he appears as high functioning. He does a lot of

memorizing and reciting things he hears on tv and radio. Especially game shows.

Perhaps this is " scripting " ? I'm not sure what to do. He definitely has GI

issues, sleep issues, he reads above average for 7yr old but is also a little

over weight but is also taller than average. We are trying to implement GF/CF

but gluten is everywhere.

Any suggestions?

April.

Hi April,

Read back on all the replies I got to my questions with this subject

title (as seen above on " subject " line) and the one regarding GABA &

5-HTP. I think those messages will answer your questions (my

messages started a few days ago, I think about 4 or 5 days ago, so

just keep going back until you see the original). Also, you might

have a better affect if you give the 5-HTP twice a day (try 25 mg or

33mg morning and night). In addition, it would be helpful to give

it along with Magnesium. The 5-HTP I'm now giving from Vitamin

Research Products (www.vrp.com)contains magnesium in the capsule

(will save us from purchasing a separate magnesium bottle). They

offer: 33mg, 50mg, and 100mg capsules. We are currently trying the

33mg once a day and might go up to 2 or 3 capsules throughout the

day in the future if needed to see what we see.

Best wishes,

Gretchen
