RE: SSRI's in recovered nids kids

[Guest guest]

Hi Gretchen,

We are new to but have an appointment with Dr G in May. His office

requested us to do the SPECT scan because we have done chelation in the

past. The other criteria for SPECT scan was HBOT.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

I am very interested in it makes a lot of sense to me. I have read Dr.

Golberg's book and wanted to know if the kids that recover thru

continue to have to take SSRIs?

I have a 5 year old boy and this is the only part of Dr. Goldberg's protocol

that makes me very nervous to give ssri at such an early age.

Also, does Dr. Goldberg request that every child get a Neurospect? If not,

do you know which type of kids do or don't?

I would really appreciate your feedback!

Thanks,

Gretchen

Gretchen -

I was worried about the SSRIs too but, he doses low and very slow to get up

to full dose. And, it really makes sense why he uses them.

As far as long term for the Œrecovered¹ kids ­ I¹m not sure.....

Hi Gretchen,

Make sure you understand and question Dr G on how treatment would differ based

on the tests he orders. Sometime I feel his passion to prove that DAN treatments

are wrong takes higher precedence.

Good luck.

I was very anxious about starting my kids on SSRIs because of my very negative

experiences with them.  I was pretty much a no-meds kind of girl before

(and experiencing the benefit of antibiotics myself after years of refusing to

take them unless I was extremely sick).  We went almost a year before we

started

them.  I wouldn't say there's no exception, but he would urge you to do it

because he believes it is extremely important and protective for your kid.  And

the way he goes about starting out doses generally makes it a much easier

experience.  So many parents have been just terrified of it and ended up being

so happy that they were willing to try with their kids - more than those who

have a very rough time with them.

My kids did quite well on them, especially the first two.  The only ones I

remember being a bad experience was celexa and lexapro, but those weren't that

awful - just not what we wanted.

There's a lot of studies - probably be able to find some of them in the

files - that show the neuroprotective benefits of SSRIs, and perhaps even more

important from the standpoint, some immune modulation in the brain.  Then,

the studies and countless other NeuroSPECT scans (not done so often these days)

showed the SSRIs literally increasing bloodflow to the temporal and frontal

lobes of the brain where it was diminshed. 

Trust me, I understand that they're very scarey, especially if you lost faith in

mainstream medicine and had tons of bad drug reactions like I did.  And yes, a

few parents have a really rough time getting them started and getting the right

balance.  But Dr G says if you had access to no other care, your kid can still

do better than many kids having tons of therapies and supplements and other

treatments just by being on the diet and a low dose of SSRI.  He's

observed

it, he's compared it in scans. 

He rarely orders scans anymore, but if you really want to drop $2000+ and try to

get your kid to be still enough for almost an hour, plus I think have the

contrast stuff injected (I could be wrong) he'd probably refer you.  It seems

like he orders them more often for people traveling from other countries,

possibly because to have them come back a year or two later to do it if he isn't

seeing the progress he's looking for would be so much more costly than someone

in the US or Canada.  Significant seizure disorders may be another reason.

Just to chime in here, the SSRI (celexa) we have been on for my 4 year old son

has been nothing short of a miracle! We have only been at the protocol for 5

months and the change is so astonishing!

I echo a lot of what says. I remember reading something about – I

think (can’t remember exactly what illness) – breast cancer patients

receiving SSRIs because of the immune modulating/protective properties and that

really reassured me about having my son on them. Dr. G only uses 4 or 5 of the

SSRIs, too. Not all are in the same class and he uses only those that have a

specific function.

Dr. G. monitors closely while kids are on meds.  My son tried 3 SSRI and

benefited from the 4th.  Our parents' " worries " are normal but, when you see

improvements on your child, your " worry " of SSRI will go away.  If I resisted

medication, I would have deprived a chance of recovery of my son.

That's a great way to put it for those of us who are worried about SSRI's. I

want to give my son that chance.

I don’t know if there is an exception but after reading his book and talking

with him about why they are necessary, they make sense as to the reason they

are needed. And for my son, the changes were definite and clear in his

overall functioning. But, my son is still going to be one of his hardest

patients out there – he has a long way to go so no miracles but distinct

improvement in all areas.

For us, we started with 1/8 of a pill and worked up from there – and it took

a year to get to 1 pill. IMHO – it was the best way to monitor changes as

well as give my son adjustment time too.
