Hi, yes our son suffers with GAD and OCD, awa Down Syndrome and ADHD and possible other genetic MI. We don't want him on LT Rx drugs (he was on SErtraline for several years but didn't seem effective), so we currently have him on:
Guanfacine, 1 mg for the OCD and 5HTP, 100mg for depression and anxiety, those 2 combined at 8 am and 2:30 pm daily. As his mother, I want to be sure that there are no LT ill effects from him being on that combination. So far, he seems ok except for some tummy upset with the 5 HTP. He vomited with 200mg of 5 HTP, but seems ok with the 100mg. We give him banana to eat first when taking it. So far, he seems more stable and upbeat, than before. What say you? Thanks, Ms. Ross
