Guest guest Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 My 11 year old son (ADD, maybe Aspergers or Hyperlexia) is on several supplements...Houston enzymes, probiotics, prescription anti-fungals, OLE for OCD symptoms, Gaba (6 days a week,) Natural Calm magnesium, and a morning compounded supplement specifically for him with Vitamin C, B-6, P5P, Biotin & niacinamide. His evening vitamin has Vitamin C, zinc, manganese, Vitamin E, Biotin, niacinamide, molybdenum, selenium and iron. He has CAL.MAG before bed and takes an Epsom Salts foot bath every night. He also gets Borage oil rubbed on his skin every night. Recently he started a larger dose of something called " Nia-C " which just increases his amount of niacinamide and Vitamin C beyond what is in his compounded supplement. With everything he is taking, we still don't see any kind of pattern of him being stable. He can be great one day and a mess the next. Sometimes we tie it to diet (even with enzymes, the rare fast food visit can be a problem) and other times we have no idea what could have brought on his tantrum or severe bad mood. It generally lasts a few hours, and often occurs in the morning before school or on a weekend. But it can hit in the evening as well. There is a lot of crying and screaming and oppositional behavior. My question is, does this ring a bell for anyone? Is there a supplement that helped any of you with similar issues? Our doc says next he plans to add either Methionine or Carnitine next. We tried Inositol for a few weeks but it kept him awake so the doc said to stop it. Does that mean it will never be an option for him again or just that the dose may have been too high? Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated. I have started taking the Natural Calm magnesium myself after his tantrums to help me recover from being emotionally and physically drained. Just when he seems stable, one of these major tantrums hits. He is a wonderful boy and he is so drained himself after this happens. Any ideas for anything that would help?
