I'm so sorry to hear about your son's dilemma. That must be frustrating and

scary. My son takes natural products from a company called Neuro Science. You

could call them and they could put you in touch with a dr. in your area that

could test your son (neuro transmitter test via urine sample) and prescribe the

meds. The number is 1-. We have had a lot of success with these

products. It is costly because insurance doesn't cover it since it is not a

pharmaceutical but nutrients. However, we thought it was worth not having to

deal with side effects and possible dangers. There are no quick or easy answers

for these kids so it's just good to explore all the options so you'll know what

works best for your child. My prayers are with you!

Subject: need some help or advice

Hi

My son jacob is ten 11 on the 24 and is in fifth grade and was diagnosed with

both adhd and ocd at the end of first grade. Here is my delma the pharmicst

sent a letter to his new pediatrician saying the combination he is taking is

dangerous for his health he taking 72 mg of conerta because he has high

metabolisim 10 mg of adderall and 25 mg of afranil for ocd he wants me to stop

the afranil until he sees the new psyhiatrist next month is there any over the

counter medication that would help his ocd he really needs something to settle

his emotions down i am opened to any suggestions and lots of prayers that there

will be a cancellation soon thanks liz linzmeier

Hi, I don't know of anything, prescribed or nonprescribed, that you

could try that would work in so short of time. Usually takes weeks

to gain any benefits (if any) from a med or supplement. Did he

recently begin this combination of the 3 medications?

So far as what you can try for OCD that is over-the-counter, inositol

powder is what many parents have tried. Sometimes it helps,

sometimes not. It's hard to find locally and is much more expensive

in a local store, so online is the best place to order it. There's

no particular brand that is better than the others. We used Source

Naturals inositol powder and I ordered it online from www.iherb.com

There are also products that others have used from Native Remedies

online. Pure Calm and Mind Soothe, I believe, are the products from

them that others have liked.

I'm sorry you're having to look at switching medications. Could he

stay on the OCD med and stop one of the others? I'm just thinking

that ADHD meds take effect faster than a medication for OCD, if

having to switch.
