Re: 5-htp

I found mention of 5-htp in relation to Parkinson's and other movement disorders. It seems that some people with RLS do benefit from it. I am taking it myself for sleep but I don't have RLS. It is also appears to be safe if not used in conjunction to some other drugs. I am, however, hesitant to give...

5-htp

My dauhgter (9) has RLS (and some autoimmune issues). I am thinking of her trying 5-htp. Did anyone have experience with it?
What dose? etc.
thanks in advance,

Apparently, PANDAS RLS connection is rare but not unheard of.
thanks to everyone who responded.

Re: new diagnosis child

yes, the same person. thanks to all who responded. It is hard for someone who does not have WED to understand what is going on. I appreciate it very much.

Re: new diagnosis child

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately no, our daughter has not been taking any of the usual triggers of RLS, not even ice-cream. Celiac is also out -- she had a genetic test because her father does have celiac. You use the phrase "when RLS is active". Can you explain that? So far, our exper...
