Question on prescribed mood stabilizers

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I know that Ablify and Risperdal are the more popular prescribed drugs for our

kids, but I was wondering if any of you have had experience with giving your

child prescribed mood stabilizers as well. If so, has it helped with the sudden

outbursts of aggression and rage? I know all of our kids are different but I

was just curious to see if this kind of medication has truly helped our kids.

Thanks.

Abilify and Risperdal are psychotropic drugs used for adults with schizophrenia and also seem to be the drugs of choice with the manic and psychotic behaviors found in kids with autism. Both these drugs have debilitating long term side effects and become dependency drugs. There are other choices that are much safer. Propanolol is a beta blocker that is used for high anxiety, hypertension and found to have extra benefits for speech, language and social skills for kids with autism http://munews.missouri.edu/news-releases/2011/0929-mu-study-finds-promising-drug-treatment-for-improving-language-social-function-in-people-with-autism/

However, it is advisable to actually look into the issues surrounding children with autism that cause these behaviors. The hormones are triggers to the behaviors, so trying to keep the hormones down (in particular testosterone especially in girls ) will help while you can also address the methylation pathway issues. Low lithium is a common issue with our kids and lithium is as you know a mood stabilizer. If you child does not have therapeutic levels of lithium they will not be transporting folate in the brain. Without folate the methylation pathway will not function appropriately affecting, speech, language, auditory processing, reading, reading comprehension, etc. Also you need 5 Methyltetrahydro folate to help with the sulphation and glutathione needed for excretion of the heavy metals which all of this abnormal biochemistry sets the groundwork for psychotic and manic behaviors you are seeing in your child. This is called Cerebral Folate Deficiency from the MTHFR genetic mutation found in 98% of the children with autism. If you listen to Amy Yasko PhD's Lithium Connection you will see how important lithium is to our kids. http://www.dramyyasko.com/resources/webisodes/lithium-connection-webisode/

Testosterone can be reduced with apple pectin, Methylbalance (Prothera Labs) helps with the methylation process and lithium oratate is sold by Advanced Research in the Vitamin Shoppe. Lithium serum levels can be drawn by your child's doctor and if you want further info you can find it on line about any of these issues and you can discuss this with your child's doctor.
