Guest guest Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 You should be taking your child for blood draws that check for liver function every 4 to 6 weeks... The Zoloft is for restoring blood flow to specific areas to the brain that have been " shut down " due to a cued up immune system. Usually, from what I know and have experienced myself with my daughter, After both the introduction of Valtrex and then the antifungal (in our case diflucan, in your case Nizoral) we had a " die-off " period where some irritability and regression occured and then she came out brighter. She started to sleep through the night after Valtrex. She can answer questions, follow directions, has more eye contact, interacts with us now instead of stimming all day. However we are still dealing with irritability and anxiety. That part has been hard. After each drugs die-off period you should have had things get better and back to a " baseline " and but if you are already at the Zoloft stage it seems you didn't get much of a break in between drugs it seems. We had 6 weeks between each drug introduction. It looks like you had about 3 weeks. Does that make sense? It seems like your boy may not have had enough time to feel better in between.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Food allergies creates inflammation affecting the brain and the rest of the body. That is probably why your daughter and many other kids see improvements once the diet is introduced. http://www.karinya.com/alrgies.htm JR From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of fredacurl Sent: Saturday, February 28, 2009 10:03 AM Subject: Re: prescription schedule > > > My son saw Dr. G for his first visit the first week > > in January.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Some of our 'wow' moments included just after starting Valtrex, my son stopped drooling. He was 3.5 and the drooling had started just a few months before the Valtrex. He was also able to sit on the couch and read a book for a few minutes. The changes after that were very subtle. The other big 'wows' came after Tenex was added, and then later (much later) increased. The first 2 times we tried to increase Tenex were not successful. We've had 'wows' after other med increases and introductions, too, but not always. We've had regressions (some really big and some barely noticeable) after med introductions and changes, and illnesses. He's going through an adjustment with his SSRI right now, and we're seeing a lot of positives, but also a lot of whining. The biggest 'wow' IMO is that my son is in a regular first grade classroom, with a shadow aide, talking, making friends, getting invited to birthday parties, riding a two-wheeled bike and staying healthy (he used to be sick for 5 months at a time; the last two times his twin sister got sick, he didn't!). He's also hitting some developmental milestones he missed earlier (telling jokes and using potty talk). He has been a patient of Dr. G for 3+ years and it has been a journey, but I am seeing a light at the end of the tunnel. I remember Dr. G waiting a while in between med and diet changes, being very careful to let my son adjust to one thing before either tweaking it or introducing another.
