Guest guest Posted September 26, 2000 Report Share Posted September 26, 2000 I too can tell this. I've had to pee into a jug for the last 24 hours for a urine test (5-HIAA) Dr. ordered, and I can barely stand up with the jug held open because of the ghastly odor coming from the jug! I thought maybe I was hallucinating! So you think its the Lipoic Acid? I definitely have not noticed a difference in how I feel since starting the Lipoic Acid and have been thinking of stopping. Maybe it's more subtle? How do we know for sure that the smell means it's " doing it's thing " ? For all we really know, the rep that was quoted on this list could be told to say that, just to keep people buying it! Don't anyone get mad at me for saying this, I'm just not interested in taking expensive supplements that dont make me feel better (and not a single one does). << This is very intesting to me because every single time I take Alpha Lipoic Acid my urine stinks so bad!! I always wondered why? I wonder what is making that smell...is it toxins being released or is it just the smell that comes when the pill is digested? Interesting. >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So trying to supplement up to the normal value is more of a problem than it sounds. It turns into a judgement call, best made by a specialist who is up to date with the latest research on it. (Just don't ask how to find one of those, unless they are involved in clinical trials ;-) ) Jerry _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

If you have already been a patient there they are supposed to continue to treat you even if you change coverage to Medicare, but since they aren't obligated to take new patients they can use that as a way to avoid Medicare's puny reimbursements and horrendous paperwork.

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2003 Report Share Posted April 18, 2003 I am looking into a lawsuit against Mentor. I was NOT part of a clinical study, and I do know there have been some successful settlements against Mentor. I am looking up information on the attorney involved. I do know that one or two of them that represented the plaintiff were from Texas. Does anyone have any further information on this? Thank you!! Have a Great Day!

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 Isnt Abilify used more for agitation, tantrums, rage and aggression? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 We started the abilify last night per the doctors recommendations and my son was restless and up all thru the night. I'm contacting the doc in the morning to see if we can take it in the morning instead. Let me keep my fingers crossed that this works and we will see the improvement with his focus and hyperactivity.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 That is what we used it for. The klonopin seemed to help that too so then we put her on metadate to help the impulsivness,lack of concentration,etc-the ADHD symptoms she had.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 I don't know about all of those symptoms, but my son, who is on it is the most well behaved, gentle child you could ever dream of having. He is on it for attention and focus issues as well as OCD issues. It seems to work well, just not a cure, of course. It hasn't made him restless or zombie like, just less "in his own world of movies" as my husband puts it.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 Just got a call from the doc office and they want to take him off all med's b/c he is having a " parodoxal " (i'm sure I killed the spelling on that) effect from the medications and they want us back in. We were just there on Wednesday for our hour evaluation appt. I told him at that time that Nicky has always had reverse side-effects from medications. So far the only thing that has been chilling him out.....Ibuprofen! I gave him some for a loose tooth and he got a " wonderful " on his daily progress report! Since then, whenever I give him the motrin he is fine! Now I know that I cannot keep him on this, however I wonder what is in there that does it for him? I'll see what the teachers say in school today. Thanks 2 everyone for responding. My son is in the autistic kindergarten class but yet they are bothered by his " autistic behaviors " . I'm like...come on..this is sooo typical for kids on the spectrum. Give me a break! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 My son does not have aggression or tantrums, ever. It is his impulsiveness, and attention issues. Regular adhd med's dont' work for him. He had a great day at school today. I called the doc and told them that I would like to stay on it and try giving him the pill in the morning. (i think i will give him 1/2 for a week to see how that works). He crashed on top of me on the couch at 6:30 this evening. Poor baby. Now I have all this spare time in the evening and I don't know what to do with myself. My fiance is giving me the " let's get it on " signals and I'm like...whatever....we have cable and internet...leave me alone so I can sleep! lol Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
