Autistic child with possible BiPolar disorder.
My Autistic son is having major rages. He'll be fine one minute, then like flipping on a switch...violent anger the next.I talked to his Dr. about BiPolar disorder and she agreed that it can go hand in hand with Autism, but wanted to put him on Depakoke to stablize the moods. I saw all the possible damage depakoke can do and decided to go the homeopathic route instead, but need some help doing this.
I started my son on Stramonium Saturday, 12C, and it seemed to help.
We were even out in a public area..a busy bookstore. He's totally off his Zoloft, which had quit helping. Without any meds he would have been raging, but once the Stramonium was given...he quickly stablized.
The Stramonium was suggested by a homeopathic physician a friend of mine sees. I was going to have her see my son, but she lives out of state and doesn't get into this area often. I've emailed her about it, but she doesn't really seem interested in taking on another patient.
I did some more research and on Sunday started with Omega 3. I read it can help stablize some people whom are BiPolar. (my son doesn't show the manic depressive side of it thankfully)
I'm guessing I'm on the right tract as even my son said it seemed to help him gain control better. He suggested it yesterday when he was getting unstable and wanted to go grocery shopping.
Right now I'm giving him the recommended 5 pellets 3 times a day. I have ordered 30c Stramonium and am waiting for that to come in. I'm concerned about 12 no being quite strong enough to get him through a day of school without slamming doors or hurting someone.
Is 30 enough for the morning? Could I reduce it back to 12c for the night?
Any suggestions?
I also read where Phosphorus oor Lycopodium Clavatum may help as they work with simular symptoms of his.
