Carnitine, lipoic acid and CoQ10

[Guest guest]

We decided to start our 6 year old on carnitine, lipoic acid and CoQ10

now that we and our son's doctor are pretty sure he has mitochondrial

dysfunction. He is getting 300 mg of acetyl-l-carnitine, 75 mg of the

lipoic acid and 30 mg of CoQ10 twice per day. Since we started it

almost three weeks ago we've seen some really neat gains. Our son

jumped up two levels in his reading at school, his focus is better and

he can sit down and complete a craft or play for extended periods on a

Nintendo DS. However, this week at school he's had a change in

personality such that he now is getting rough with his classmates and

has become defiant. He's never been like this before. He's also now

not sleeping as well. He seems to get up a couple of times a night

where he used to sleep right on through. He gets 5 ml of cod liver

oil each day along with a probiotic and Kirkman's Super Nu Thera. Are

we missing some complementary supplements? Any thoughts?

Thank you very much in advance for any help.
