Guest guest Posted January 22, 2003 Report Share Posted January 22, 2003 Yes- I can't imagine being on Valtrex, Nizoral, Claritin, iron supplements, Welbutrin, Celexa and Effexor plus the medicine he was on before he started this protocol. You'd be doing nothing but poking down pills all day. It doesn't seem safe. >From: Barb Katsaros <barbkatsaros@...> >Reply- > >Subject: Re: Re: ssri >Date: Tue, 21 Jan 2003 18:59:16 -0800 (PST) > >Yes, how did you ever come to this combinination? >Barb > >--- " sue1jeff2001 <jeffb@...> " wrote: > > > > good to hear but curious why the three different > > drugs?how is each > > helping? > > > > > > > Hi, > > > We are using Welbutrin, and Celexa together with > > very good > > results.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2003 Report Share Posted January 24, 2003 We have only positive experience with Paxil as well. It was short period of hyperactivity (not that bad), then we see only positives with each increas.

Re: ssri Gaylen, (10) started Paxil at 2.5 mg. and this am went to 5 mg. So far, he has had no problems, and in fact, seems less emotional and is able to handle stress somewhat better. Maybe it is too soon to tell, but I thought I'd share that with you. (11), who has similarities to Curtis, from when we talked, will very likely go on Effexor. At least, that is what Dr. G said when we saw him. He said that that would help his dopamine or was it the epinephrine? Now I'm forgetting, but I will ask him when the subject comes up. Are you to be starting ssri's soon? bty, 's blood deficiency was throughout his brain, fairly evenly, acc. to the neurospects. --- Googahly@... wrote: > In a message dated 1/21/03 7:08:36 PM Central > Standard Time, lars@... > writes: > > > > We've tried Zoloft which was a nightmare, and > paxil which isn't much better. > > Dr. G added Welbutrin and cut back the dose on the > paxil yesterday.Every > > increase in the zoloft and paxil made much > more autistic,with > > behaviors he never had before. > > > > I am curious to know more about your child and any > others who have not > handled any of the ssris well, if folks don't mind > sharing.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2003 Report Share Posted January 24, 2003 I beg to differ on the Ativan! I tried that one (and I probably have a little bipolar, and would possibly have been considered a bit ASD as a child) and Whoa!!! not good. --- Alison O'Malley <aliomalley_1@...> wrote: > Here is a partial e-mail I received from a doctor > here in the Indianapolis > area regarding the SSRI question: > ...

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2003 Report Share Posted January 25, 2003 Regina, How long has your child been on the paxil, and what dose is he up to? How many pounds does your child weigh? Thanks.
