5HTP and Valerian Root Extract for Calming

[Guest guest]

Hello On your recommendation I just bought 5HTP 50mg made by Allergy Research Group from the Vitamin Shoppe. In advance of his amino acids test I presume it is ok to go ahead with 5HTP at half dose? I also got Valerian Root Extract (a natural Valium). I gave him half the recommended dose (500mg instead of 1000mg) this afternoon and he appears mellow. I will increase the dose tomorrow and also start the 5HTP. I am just desperate to find some supplements this weekend so he can go to school on Monday. He missed school all of last week due to severe behaviors. My son sleeps ok at night but is very sensitive and irritable during the day which usually translates to aggression. Thank you very much for sharing what you know.FranselSent from my iPad

Hi Yes, we had a blood test done which was processed by our local Children's Hospital - Plasma Amino Acid levels - which indicated that he was deficient in Tryptophan and Tyrosine. Hi ,Did you do any testing to know that you needed to raise dopamine and serotonin levels? Thanks. Valium My son is extremely violent today - DAN doc is putting him temporarily on valium 5mg up to 2x daily rather than giving anti psychotic meds until we are able to treat lyme with antibiotics. Any thoughts anyone? Sorry for sounding desperate.Fransel
