Cam--
my friend's son [11 y/o who has Tourettes]takes luvox and clonidine.
She found some dingbat *nutritionist* who "prescribed" a ton of supplements
and vitamins on top of the meds. Tho I've convinced her to stop the L-tryptophan
and 5 HTP, and only because I could explain the potential dangers of excess serotonin,
the kid is also getting various amino acids.
I can't find a site that will give any info about med interactions with specific amino acids.
Suggestions?
And, do the amino acids pass thru the intestinal walls intact, and do they pass the blood-brain
barrier? Or is this another high-priced urine scam??Appreciatively,
Liz
