Guest guest Posted August 13, 2003 Report Share Posted August 13, 2003 Hi Everyone, It has been a long time since I have posted to the list or maybe I have not at all, I just don't remember for sure, but have been here for a long time. This is going to several lists as we need help badly here. Our middle daughter that has Austism and it very high functioning, is really driving us crazy with contamination issues, food issues such as the food not being cooked all the way and many more things. I know that it is OCD, I understand this disorder as she has always had some issue with this from time to time, but never like this, never like this at all. I know what the Dr.s are going to tell us and that is that she needs drugs such as SSRIs (Serotonin Specific Reuptake Inhibitors). I know that they enhance the activity of serotonin, seemingly this chemical is in need to be increased in this disorder. Basically antidepressants and I don't want to put my 13 year old child on these, as it is I am taking Celexa for depression, but not so sure that it is helping me but with sleeping, but the herbs that I was taking did not help during this part of my life .... Anyway... I was wondering if anyone that is more familiar with combos of herbs, knows of any for this disorder. ????? We are at our wits end with this and it has only gotten really bad in the last 2 weeks, after almost a year of me being treated for Breast Cancer, seems this has come out of the blue. Please email me at rcsoap and Thank You for any help you can give. TTYS :-) Rita...Homeschooling Mom in Georgia May the ~A~ngels up ~A~bove Guide you with Love ~A~ http://www.tlcsoaps.com/soapmaking.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 What about Co-enzyme Q10 and pantothenic acid? Co-enzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a powerful antioxidant and a nutritional energizer. It is essential for the production of cellular energy and pantothenic acid is important for serotonin production Suzi Rita <rcsoap wrote: Hi Everyone,It has been a long time since I have posted to the list or maybe I have not at all, I just don't remember for sure, but have been here for a long time.This is going to several lists as we need help badly here.
