pr40 Posted June 5, 2014 Report Posted June 5, 2014 LLMD suggested lithium for our ds, 4.8mg x2. ds had high taurin on amino acid urine test. We started today and I think we are seeing mild positive results immediately. He is not getting stuck as much but is kind of floating. Any experience with lithium? thanks!
tu4four Posted June 6, 2014 Report Posted June 6, 2014 Yes. We had the opposite effect. It was like poison of dd13z. However, dd12 is low in taurine. Hmmmmm....
Mayzoo Posted June 6, 2014 Report Posted June 6, 2014 My kiddo is low on Taurine and Lithium (lab test confirmed), so I give my kiddo 1 Lithium cap in am and one at noon. She gets Taurine at bedtime. It seems to help with her overall anxiety and lifts her mood a tad (at least it did when we started). It was all rather subtle, no aaaha moment or anything, but still overall good.
Dedee Posted June 6, 2014 Report Posted June 6, 2014 Lithium supplement has been wonderful to help stabilize my daughters moods. I give it to my sons and I also take it. Dedee
pr40 Posted June 8, 2014 Author Report Posted June 8, 2014 did your kid have sleeping problems on lithium? my kid could not fall asleep the first two days on it, which is very unusual for him. we had to lower the dose and on the third day he slept normally.
Mayzoo Posted June 8, 2014 Report Posted June 8, 2014 No issues here; however, I intentionally dose it in the morning and at 3pm. I do not give close to bedtime, so we are less likely to have sleep disturbances.
