Guest guest Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 Our experience has been that Nizoral made the most improvements against aggression next to eliminating 3 other big triggers. In my son, soy protein is the biggest trigger for aggression. I also notice that his pupils are more dilated when he has issues with aggression. Anytime I notice that, I start hunting for whatever he is eating too much of that has soy protein - especially soy lecithen - in it. Is your son on soy milk? Or does he have a food that he eats daily with soy in it? This excludes soybean oil - that doesn't have protein in it so there isn't a problem with that. Most of the time it's soy lecithen, but hydrolysed soy protein may be a problem too. I can't emphasize how bad the soy protein is in kids with aggression. If you try to remove this, you have to allow for 5 days for the trigger to go away, and then about a week for the 'behavioral memory' to diminish. The other aggression trigger can be allergy meds - especially zyrtec. Benedryl doesn't seem to be too bad. Allergy meds were hard to figure out because it took up to 2 months to see problems from it, so I had long ago ruled it out as a negative. But we have not once gotten away with allergy meds and have suffered many months of rage before finally giving up. Now he will only be given nose sprays, and during pollen season we'll give bendryl at half dose at bedtime. *In every kid at my work (we have an outpt treatment center for kids with autism and I pulled records on the following one day), those with aggression or oppositional behavior problems are on zyrtec. Every one. And maybe half of them drink soy milk due to milk allergies. I wanted to show this connection to the psychiatrist but had no luck convincing him to consider zyrtec as a trigger for the behavior problems. (I showed the same connection for the kids w/OCD and a history of chronic strep infections - every single child with ocd had a history of chronic strep and often had tonsillectomies.) The last big aggression trigger is melatonin. Again, it takes a long time for it to show up as a problem, and then about 5 days after stopping for a relief. I really believe aggression can be stopped if you can find the trigger.

It has gotten a little better~but then we started Paxil. He is continuing to be somewhat aggressive. Dr G increased his Paxil dosage so we are hoping that may improve it. I know Dr G really likes Nizerol vs. Difulcan. ____________ _________ _________ __ From: Robyn & Greg Coggins <rngcoggssbcglobal (DOT) net> groups (DOT) com Sent: Sat, March 6, 2010 10:13:59 PM Subject: Re: Nizerol  When did you start Nizoral?

My son seems more agitated and has been biting his arm sleeve quite a bit~ this was even before we started the Paxil. The drug we have seen the most improvement with is Valtrex. We are hoping to start Immuvior soon. I have read about some negative responses--but Dr G does not seem to want to switch.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 Thank you ~I need to go through his processed foods~but I do not think he has any soy foods.  We have been able to transition to goats milk.   Additionally, we are not on any allergy medicine either.  Interestingly, is one of the " red cheek and ears kids " as well.  I have been watching very carefully to see if there are any food triggers~and it doesnt seem to have any patterns. The puzzle continues. ________________________________ From: <thecolemans4@...> Sent: Sun, March 7, 2010 10:38:56 AM Subject: Re: Nizerol/aggression  Our experience has been that Nizoral made the most improvements against aggression next to eliminating 3 other big triggers.
