Wilma Jenks Posted January 17, 2011 Report Posted January 17, 2011 My child was taken off of the azith. and Nystatin. It was making her waaaayyyy to agressive. It was so disappointing. Urine test (checking nuerotransmitter) came back that showed my girl had low dopamine so Scott is putting her on some Tyrosine. I was then told by another doctor that neurotransmitters can not even be tested in the urine. Any comments are welcome.

Wilma Jenks Posted January 17, 2011 Author Report Posted January 17, 2011 she is currently on lamictal...teeny bit of seroquel and melatonin. best she has ever looked. but not that great. i think the probiotics are giving her diarreah and making her poop non-stop. not sure if i should stop it. i did not start the tyrosine yet. i guess it wasn't PANDAS. ugh!

I was then told by another doctor that neurotransmitters can not even be tested in the urine. Any comments are welcome. I've started to reply several times, but it seems to come off as a rant...so forgive me, I'm just giving my honest, non-expert opinion. I'm highly skeptical of specialty labs that invent, interpret, and sell lab tests that are not accepted as valid by the medical community. How they could possibly test brain neurotransmitter levels through the urine is incomprehensible to me. I'd want to know what markers they are testing and understand the logic behind it before I'd be willing to base treatment on it. Clinically, low dopamine levels are associated with tremors. That being said, tyrosine isn't likely to be harmful anyway.
Wilma Jenks Posted January 17, 2011 Author Report Posted January 17, 2011 This person that recommended this test and the amino acid is really well liked and has helped many children. Not sure what to think.

Yes, I've heard good things about him on this forum. I hope you have a good experience with him and your daughter gets a lot of help.
