Is there any drug treatment available for fragile x syndrome?

My grandson has Fragile X;my daughter and son and I are carriers. Grandson has taken meds that have zoned himout.Now taking topomax. Contact FRAXA for info. also in Staten Island the IBR (Infant and bEhavioral Research Center) an excellent resource.

As of yet i dont think so. I have read in a medical dictionary and it didn't say anything about drug therapy for fragile x. Fragile X Syndrome is the most common inherited cause of mental retardation.
