CBD Gummies
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

Anyone know of any CBD gummies for kids on the spectrum that help with anxiety as well as mood swings that are safe to take. Thinking about taking my daughter off her meds since they dont seem to be working. Serious responses only.

I was thinking the same thing. I did ask my sons doctor to be on safe side. He did tell me the safe dosage but no specific brand.

What meds are your child on.

@A MyAutismTeam Member is absolutely right. If meds are already in the mix then you need to talk to the prescribing psychiatrist about any med change or addition of any other controlled substance into your child's pharmaceutical treatment. It could be the straw that broke the camel's back type of scenario. You certainly shouldn't discontinue any meds without undergoing a weaning process as there could be physical dependency issues that could be either life threatening or cause a psychotic episode.

@A MyAutismTeam Member My son is 18 now and has bipolar disorder on top of his autism (likely a result of lots of changes since puberty and then lockdown prior to and during the height of the pandemic) and intellectual disability so he's on some heavy hitters. He's actually on a medication that is supposed to counter the potential of tarkive kinesia from a first generation antipsychotic that they had to resort to. Some of the other medications are actually blood pressure medications whose effects are likely anti-inflammatory. c
