I have some questions about vitamins and anxiety drugs for children with Asperger’s.
My neighbor went thru a difficult divorce over a year ago and moved out of her home. Her daughter at the time was 17 years old. She always had an IEP. She also always had a difficult time in school. Now that she has graduated, her mom feels she may have undx Asperger’s. When trying to get her into a govt work program, the county felt she probably had Asperger’s also. They have no insurance on the daughter. Last fall her family doctor dx her with depression and put her on Prozac. She has gotten worse with this med. She has left home twice this summer but not gone very far…this is a small community. The first time I was able to get her to come to my house and she stayed for about 3 weeks. I did get her to my docs who did a complete blood work before the insurance lapsed. Some symptoms she displays now while on and off Prozac (she is not religiously taking this)
Having Celiac, I always think gluten sensitivity first so did have her checked. Sadly my doc couldn’t get the gliadins done but did do the
1. So I was wondering what drugs would be good for treating anxiety. I know my doc would prescribe since he saw her in August. 2. It is hard to get her to take meds so what would be the most important vitamin. I am thinking the omega 3 and her D3 needs to be higher and B12 3. I also wonder if her father could have extended his teacher insurance to cover this special needs child???? He has Med Mutual I know we are not doctors but right now this advice is all she has. Thanks for anything you can think of. Last edited by Llonghair; 10-21-2009 at 11:28 AM. |
