Does you child take medications?

Post Reply New Topic

Hello.
I am autistic and i am wondering whether anyone here gives their child medication to lessen the symptoms of autism and if you have noticed a change in the reaction to change in routine or surprises.
If you do give your child medications, please tell me which ones and if they help.
Thank you.

What kind of medications/symptoms are you thinking about? Anything specific?

We've tried biomed approach. Gluten free helped ceisin free didn't but I heard that most of the benefits are from diet changes. I've heard that ketogenic diet helps with seizures. B12 with magnesium seemed to help. Lucovorin did not. B12 shots did nothing. Viarin helped adhd at first but then nothing. Melatonin was great for sleep, no side effects. GABA did nothing. It's different for other people. Brocoli sprout concentrate did nothing. For some biomed helps others it doesn't. We still do b12/magnesium and gluten free diet.

I am very unadvanced to help but I'm taking 50m sertraline(Zoloft) for the nerves. Pot was great when I was 15 but that has long term effects and it's a kid so no to that. Magnesium(fish oil when he hits 20's) is good. I dropped lactose and went to soy milk and that was a help, I tried no gluten but lost to much energy, although it did help alot. LOW SODIUM, this helped a lot, it is hard as I need sodium in the summer to help retain water but switching to sea salt helped, magnesium chloride over sodium chloride. That and almost everything has sodium, like trying to cut gluten.
