Guest guest Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Hi Natasa, I started on Feb 10th. So it is 2 weeks. but these symptoms have started only after we reached 11 caps which is around 5 days back. Doesn't a healing regression have to be accompanied by lot of gains? we don't see much except for his eczema gone, and also his regression is mainly in the behavior. He has not forgotten anything he learnt. I am already finding it so hard managing to teach him anything now, since he just wants to do nothing, but stim on his letters or play the same stuff over and over again. Because he is so emotional, the ABA therapists are also not able to help. So if I understand correctly, this can go on for 50-60 days! My goodness, that's a long time. And when will he the gains come? rohini > > > > hi everyone, > > I recently joined this group and have a question. > > Does anyone have experiences to share about Virastop?

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 there are no hard rules with this it is really impossible to tell when and if the gains will come. the best there is to poll other people's experiences to guess what to expect... not everyone sees any positives during healing regression, sometimes when the fog clears so to say the positives emerge. a couple of things that just might be worth a try to ease regression is either to add a little bit of GABA, or /and 5htp-serotonin supplement or you could try l-theanine, which increases both GABA and serotonin hth natasa > > > > > > hi everyone, > > > I recently joined this group and have a question. > > > Does anyone have experiences to share about Virastop?
