I am looking into oxytocin for myself and daughter. I can get it online for me. I have bonding issues and anxiety oxytocin is naturally occuring in the brain created by the hypothalamus I've read multiple studies but not sure how likely I am to get it for my kid we will see
Have you looked at gabapentin? it is gaba amino buteric acid. Typically prescribed for anxiety it is also the base chemical needed to make oxytocin.
It calms me down and I get fighting anxiety. Like I had big problems being violent. After getting gabapentin I've calmed down tremendously
I know some kids as young as five can get it prescribed. The beauty is while you can overdose on it, overdoses are not deadly highest dosage recorded was 49,000 MG the man slept 3 days and woke up happy as can be. Of course I don't condone taking that much follow doctors prescription. But that might help. Mines an August baby too.
