Purity of psymeds FYI Re: 5HTP dosage for aggressive child

[Guest guest]

Have heard somewhere that some generics may be tainted with Chinese bulk ingredients; know your sources, good idea if you know someone in the supp. mfg. biz like some compounding pharmacists; Swanson Vitamins are used by MDs here for naturals, and they have talked with the CEO I believe to assure integrity of the products before recommending to patients. TOXIC PSYCHIATRY by Dr. Breggins goes into great detail on psymeds and would be excellent for every parent's reference shelf.To: BorreliaMultipleInfectionsAndAutism <BorreliaMultipleInfectionsAndAutism >Sent: Sat, May 14, 2011 1:16:10 AMSubject: Re: 5HTP dosage for aggressive child

Peri What is a high dosage for 5HTP? My son is 18yrs @ 130lbs. I am using it as a daytime mood stabilizer not so much for sleep. Fransel

Just so you know, 5HTP and Prozac are considered very similar, and I know docs who will prescribe generic prozac instead of the 5HTP because its much cheaper....so in effect, you are giving behavior meds if you are doing high doses of 5HTP. Just thought you should know........

That said, my son did fine with 5HTP at bedtime to help with sleep, but did not fare well with Prozac a few years later to help with anxiety......

Re: Zeolite by Nutramedix - need something for mopping up toxins

Hi Fransel,

You may need to increase the 5 HTP, and you have to give it regularly. My son is only 45 lbs and gets 100 mg in the morning. This is half the dose the naturopath said we could use. Also, how are his lips? If his lips are still bothering him, he could be in a great deal of pain, which of course will add to the aggression. You mentioned herpes in one of your previous posts. There was time when I used to get many blisters on my lips or they would often get chapped and the pain was excruciating. What helped was putting mositurizer on them. I have used Burts Bees lip balm, and coconut oil also works well. They key is to keep them as covered as possible until the inflammation goes down and the lips are completely healed.

My son aggressed in school again - while on their community walk he made himself fall in an embankment with no antecedents. He has done this walk many timed. Then back in the classroom he threw objects and kicked staff just because he was told to re-staple his artwork. It may be a die off from pathogens. He is not on herbs or ABX yet. Only thing different is a slight increase in custom probiotics d lactate. We will try 5HTP 50mg this afternoon. I want to ask about zeolite - this is a binder like Sonne's #7 right? I see it is available in capsule form from nutramedix. Is this the one I should get for mopping up in lieu of charcoal? Tks to all.Fransel
