sensory medication

Post Reply New Topic

Recently I have been wondering if there is any medication availeble against sensory issues. Does anyone have experiences with some or views on this subject which can help me talk to my GP. I find that comming into her office with some knowledge of possibilities is better than asker her with no clue myself.

None that I am aware of. I have sought the same thing.

Temple Grandin claims that a subclinical dose of antidepressants help her sensory issues. Like maybe 1/3 of the lowest normal dose.

My major sensory issue is noise, followed by bright light. I take Xanax mainly for anxiety, but since my doctor upped my frequency from once daily to once every 12 hours, my four kids' noisy evenings don't seem to bother me as much. I still have my moments, but my wife said that she's noticed that I'm a little calmer. Everyone's different, of course.

Some people say they have had good results with L carnosine, pyridoxine (vitamin B6), P5P (pyridoxal-5prime-phosphate, activated B6), magnesium, dimethyglycine (DMG), trimethylglycine, N-acetyl cysteine (precursor of glutathione), selenium, buffered vitamin C, probiotics, pancreatic enzymes. and zinc.

These are non-prescription supplements, and other items. They are no longer considered off-the-wall things. Try each separately on your own. There is some hard science behind each possiblity, but remember, each organism's biochemistry is somewhat different.

I have a friend who has tried five or more grams of L-arginine with one gram of L-citrulline, with excellent results. Almost unbelievable.

Be careful, and be prudent. Good luck.

Online, reasonably priced suppliers are iherb, and vitacost. I am in no way associated with either company.

Personally I have good results with the caffeine in iced green tea, or diet coke, but I have to be careful to cut it off at the right point, and not too late in the day, not much later than noon, or early afternoon.

I usually get the aminos and C in powder form from http://www.beyond-a-century.com/. I've been buying from them for years, and have never yet had a problem (and no I have never worked for them)

When I mix my tea in the morning, I spike it with that day's ration of each amino

Has anyone heard of the "90 essential nutrients?" I found some info at this website:

I'm not advocating it, and I have no affiliation at all with the site or company. Honestly, it looks expensive, and I'd rather keep paying my $10 co-pay monthly. But I'd love to find something natural instead of continuing to help increase Big Pharm's profits.

Some people research the supplements in good texts on AS and the spectrum from the library or an online used bookstore, then choose one at a time and order it, after they have researched for the best price.
Sometimes, one or two supplements will "click," and then they go with those. The trial period must be long enough, and it is best to try one at a time. I think the keys are good research, hosesty during the trial time, and carefulness with dose and dosage.
This way can be a lot less expensive, but it is slow, of course. On the other hand, it is individually tailored.

Thanks for the replies, I will look them up and discuss it with my GP.
