Vayarin replacement? It was life changing for my son & we need substitute stat. Help please!

[Itbit]

Son started Vayarin 4 per day ~ 2012. His last script ran out in April 2019 right before his college fresh finals. No bueno.

It took months to see diff but when he ran out his bx changed after~3 wks. Once Vayarin was re-established his affect & emotions stabilized, less depression, improved concentration w/ exec function etc, less tics, lowered anxiety. Without it he is edgy, defiant, argumentative, unfocused, etc

dx: OCD, Dysgraphia, Tourette’s, Mod Central Sleep Apnea, Benign Epilepsy

NOT dx w/ ADHD but shared symptoms

I originally posted about this in May (link below). There have been a lot of suggestions on substitutes. We have our son on Accentrate, but we aren’t sure how well it’s working. We also got SNAP, which someone suggested, but it was a syrupy that tasted awful, so that was a bust. I think they make capsules now.

We switched our son from Vayarin to Accentrate before Vayarin was discontinued. He did much better on Accentrate than Vayarin. We liked that Accentrate had EPA and DHA like Vayarin, but also the other vitamins.

Have you contacted a large University hospital pharmacy and asked them.what is best. They are the most knowledgable and they might have a good substitute for you.

Good luck

My doctor suggested we reach out to a compounding pharmacy to have it made. I am trying that. If anyone finds a compounding pharmacy that can make it please let me know.

How did the compounding work?
