Taking Geodon, Wellbutrin and Klonipin. Thinking I don't need the last 2 anymore, but wondering what everyone else is taking? :?:

Fluoxetine 20 mg (generic Prozac)
Fish oil 3 x 2000 mg
Multi-vitamin/Multi-mineral
---------------------
I've taken wellbutrin with this combo but found it was not usefull. I need
something for ADHD, but other than that I'm fine.

Natural thyroid replacement and vitamins.

I wonder if there's an Asperger's/thyroid link? I've seen two others say they have it already. Both hypo and hyperthyroidism can cause depression, too.

Why don't u all get your thyroids tested? Just to satisfy my curiosity. ;)

I guess I'm one of the people's post you saw. I stopped my levothyroxine about
a year ago due to high blood pressure. I've not been to a doctor in many years.
I just order the thyroid pills off the net! I wish there was a simple home test.
Like theoretically it could be made like a blood sugar test strip. I'm sure you know
the temperture test:(after a normal nights sleep and normal wake time)

1) as soon as you wake up take your temperture in bed. Normal is 97.8 and 98.2

2) if its below 97.6 (and mines been 96.0) that may indicated hypothyroidism

3) if its above 98.2 that may indicate hyperthyroidism

A low resting pulse rate may indicate hypo and a high resting pulse rate may
indicate hyper
-----------------
Note I have had many blood test in the past too.

Hiya Machine,

I gave up on the tests years ago. I titrate my dose according to how I feel. It took me a long time to find a doc who would let me do that. And it took me 5 years to get stabilized on the right dose of the right med.

I'm on 300mg Aurorix (aka Manerix/Moclobemide)
The Aurorix is great, as I had a bad reaction to an SSRI last year. My psychiatrist said Aurorix has no effect on some people, but for those who do "it's like magic". My Dad also took Aurorix a couple of years ago, and Mum said "he gets soo excited about some things now" she thinks because of the Aurorix. I have the same reaction so I can only assume it is the tablets.

The odd 2mg Valium as required

Various vitamins when I get around to it such as Cod Liver Oil, Zinc..

Thyroid does seem to be linked to ASD or having children with ASD, as per anecdotal evidence I've heard.
