Guest guest Posted August 27, 2003 Report Share Posted August 27, 2003 I have used it with Ethan-- at low amounts, it does seem to help eliminate his over-focusing on things but at some point it seems to be too much and then he acts strange. So maybe my guy is just really dose-sensitive -- I hope you get some other responses. Good luck! W > I have sent several posts asking about Inositol and haven't gotten a > response.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2003 Report Share Posted October 30, 2003 Tina, where did you get Inositol from as i am in Berkshire, U.K and some products are not recognise in the U.K, which tells me they are American products. Please advise if you can. Thanks inositol i have tried inositol, it didn`t help. i also have treated for candida, but it keeps comming back. my son loses so much weight on the candida diet. and i havn`t had much luck with enzymes. i`ve had better luck with betain hydrocloride. i`ve heard people with allergys can`t break down fats and protein, because of a lack of stomach acid. betaine hydrocloride replaces the stomach acid. it sould be used with caution since it can cause stomach ulcer. i researched what suppliments would treat or prevent ulcers before i used it. i loaded him up on suppliments to prevent ulcers. essential fatty acids ,acidolphalis, alfalfa, aloe vera,enzymes l-glutamine, royal jelly are some suppliments i used to prevent an ulcer. many are things we are already giving are kids. my son finally started gaining weight with the betaine hydrocloride. tina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 Inositol does NOT increase serotonin levels. Inositol amplifies the signal serotonin sends. To increae serotonin levels one uses tryptophan or 5 hydroxytryptophan or a high carbohydrate diet. Some people need more serotonin so that there is some to put the more inositol to work.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 Would inositol " poop out " like Prozac? I got the same experience with Prozac.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 Insolitol increases the sensitivity of serotoninn receptors, so you get more activity from the same levels of serotonin. If you have low serotonin, inositol will probably be helpful. If you have high serotonin it will almost certainly be harmful. High doses - up to several grams - work better for some people. You could also try adding 5HTP to boost serotonin. Steve -- In , JLJukoski@a... wrote: > Hi , > How much Inositol do you give? I've heard such great things about it, but we > aren't seeing results.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 My son age 3 suffers from night terrors and the dan! doc wanted me to do a sleep profile test during the night waking hours but it was an impossible task to get his saliva and urine so at the last visit, they prescribed Inositol powder to be taken before bed. (He also takes clonidine to sleep, but it hasn't been lasting as long and I am reluctant to increase the dose) So I tried the inositol and he has had only 2 night terrors in 2 weeks vs almost every night! I was curious if anyone else has tried this and if this is a coincidence or does this stuff really work like this? Thanks, Carol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 My nutritionist told me it is good for: Improving focus, attention and reducing stims. Also, she suggested increasing the dose for reactions, stims and hyperactivity. I haven't tried it yet!

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 Hi : I dont know but I had found an article on it. Inositol and OCD by Frederick (something), sorry it is late and I dont have it in front of me, but anyway as I was reading it, I remebered that my sons Neuro had briefly mentioned using it a few years ago if the medication (an SSRI didnt work for s OCD). Well the Medication didnt work and both me and the Dr. must have forgotten about the Inositol. But I do remeber him saying it was OTC when I asked him what it was. My son was only on Risperdal at the time so I know it can be taken with that. I will fwd the exact name and title of article tomorrow.
