Guest guest Posted January 14, 1999 Report Share Posted January 14, 1999 Dear Trinity, My husband was diagnosed and treated for Hep c last year. We thought all was well but...his remission has ended. We haven't yet decided whether to resume the interferon or not. The combo treatment isn't good for him because his white blood cell count got so low with the interferon that that doctor fears heart failure. His viral load(?) was 600,000 the first time around and we don't know what it is right now. We see a new doc in February. You might want to find out about some herbs and such. We keep hearing about milk thistle being a good thing for the liver...NOT a cure but not a harm either. Take care.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 1999 Report Share Posted January 15, 1999 Hi Carolee, My viral load was 560,000 two years ago when I first found out I had it. (that's after having it for 20 years). That's not too bad since some people have their numbers in the millions. I agree, that Milk Thistle helps protect the liver, if not directly for the Hep C, it may work on other toxins that go to you liver. I take one a day, some people take 2 or 3. My red blood cell count went low with the interferon too, so I don't think I want to try the combination treatment.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2000 Report Share Posted August 20, 2000 Hello - Sorry it's taken me so long to reply to this posting. I have not heard of this medication before and just did a brief bit of research on WebMd to find that it is in a group of drugs called " cholinergics " and is most often prescribed for urinary conditions as it promotes emptying of the bladder. I guess the logic is that it could also help empty the esophagus?? There is a good article available at www.aalaparoscopic-surgery.com/achalasi.htm which discusses some pharmacologic therapy and in it they list a group of medications called " anticholinergics " which leads me to believe that doctors are prescribing something quite opposite from the drug your are taking. I think the medication most often prescribed is nifedipine and I've read several postings from e-group members who have taken this medication but I've never used it personally. Would be interested to know how this medication is, in fact, working out for you? Take care - Carol medications > My physician just prescribed urecholine 25mg/ before meals.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2000 Report Share Posted October 4, 2000 HI there Barbara in Texas! We also found that none of the regular medications worked for our sons' ocd and depression. He was diagnosed at 12 and began treatment at 13. He is 17 now. For a long time Manerix worked, and now he's on anafranil for his ocd and serzone for the depression for about a year. His depression is definatly under control and his O's and C's are not as dispruptive! My youngest, Ziv (11), began medication at 7 and it definatly frightened me to see a child on a high adult dose of the SSRI's. I have learned to use therapy as a way of limiting the amount of medication. Someone mentioned Valarian Root for insomnia. The smelly rubber boot tea??? Just kidding. We tried it for tom and it did nothing. A few drops of Lavender on Tom's pillow have helped him relax, though. Ziv takes zoloft with a trazadone at night to help sleep. We're glad that you found this list too!! take care, wendy, in canada =============================================== On another note, just thought I'd give ya'll my two cents worth on drugs. My son has been on every single SSRI on the market a well as Luvox 200 mgs per day. None of them have worked for him. The Luvox increased his anxiety incredibly so we had titrate him off of it. Luckily, his psychiatrist is also so wonderful. On his last appointment she told me that we had tried all that there is to try and so she was going to put him on Serzone, a drug that has not been approved or tested on children. It scared me to death but ... thankfully, it's working great. Glad to have found this list!

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2000 Report Share Posted October 4, 2000 , My son is also in Cognitive therapy. It has made the difference in night and day with his OC. I like your idea about lavender..I think I'll give that a try. Even with massive doses of drugs, Keaton has trouble going to sleep, fights it like its the plague! Keaton tried the Anafranil and Trazodone too. I swear, my medicine cabinet looked like a pharmacist. We tried Celexa too....didn't work for him but it sure is working good for me!!!!

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2000 Report Share Posted October 5, 2000 Just thought I'd chime in on this one, my 10yr old daughter also suffered from bad insomnia as a result of side effects from meds. I read on this list about the lavendar oil and off the the herb shop we went. It worked wonders for her. She is off meds now and doesnt have the problem but she still feels calm and relaxed by the lavendar so she still uses it. She too was given other meds that were " supposed " to help the insomnia but only exacerbated the problem. Good luck with the lavendar oil. p.s. her room smells pretty good too!! God Bless!!

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2001 Report Share Posted April 4, 2001 Deb, Is taking any other meds besides Depakote? takes Tegretol and Depakene and the more Tegretol he takes makes the Depakene level go down. Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 4, 2001 Report Share Posted April 4, 2001 Hi Deb, currently takes Tegretol, Depakene, Risperdal, Zyprexa, Prevacid, Synthroid, Amoxicillin (as a prophylactic for GI bacterial overgrowth), Milk of Magnesia and Colace daily! When I take him for a doctor visit, I take a typed list of med, amounts, and times! LOL He has been on [in the past] Clonidine (pill/patch), Ritilin, Anafranil, Lithium, Prozac, Paxil, Zoloft, Klonipen, and I can't remember what else. He has been on the Tegretol/Depakene for about 6 years. They were originally prescribed for seizure control and have been adjusted upwards for behavioral control as well. He still has occasional seizures. He has been on really high doses of both Tegretol and Depakene and they worked against each other, level wise. At one point, we were trying to wean him off the Tegretol (big mistake!) and his Depakene level went up to 155. He was doing alot of sleeping. I'm not sure if any of the meds is taking interact with Depakote, but it might be worth a discussion with your pharmacist to find out? Also, one of my other kids used to take Theodur, which was a sprinkle med for asthma. He used to have to take really high doses of it because the doctor said his metabolism was so high that he didn't absorb all the sprinkles before they had passed through his system. Just a thought. takes the liquid form and doesn't seem to have any problem metabolizing it, but I give it through his g-tube so volume and/or taste isn't an issue. From what I hear, liquid Valproic Acid is some nasty tasting stuff! LOL A side note....we started noticing an increase in aggressive behavior when was 12 1/2 - 13 yrs. We asked our neurologist at that time if it could be related to puberty. He said no. I think he was wrong. is now 14 and his psychiatrist says the older he gets, the worse it's likely to be. So I do think that puberty has an influence. Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2001 Report Share Posted April 4, 2001 , He is on this for behavior also. On the same dose for 4 1/2 years. Weight when started about 115. Now, 172. I know the DS population can metabolize things differently than others. Maybe that is it. His liver is eating it like PacMan. His level was 69 and the doc decided to up the dose. Now, it only went down by 4 or 5 points, but it went down. We balked at uping the level again....then she decided we didn't need her services if we did not want to do " med trials " . Geez.

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2001 Report Share Posted April 4, 2001 Deb, That is terrible about the doctor. I would look at another dr if that is available to you. We have to travel 3 1/2 hours to find one who seems compotent.(sp?) I don't think JJ liver is eating the meds he is just pooping it out 30 minutes after getting it. We have a co-pay on the depekote of about $50, but I still feel that I am thowing my money away with the diapers. Also it is just doing a number on his bottom. Poor guy! JJ lost 10 pounds but it was more from starting the GF diet than the meds. He is still a scrawny 43 lb. & Garry, parents of (10 ds), (9 ds), JJ (7 ds/autism/celiac), (6 ds/ADHD/Celiac), and Esther (4 ds).

He takes catapres for the ADHD. Depakote sprinkle for the mood disorder and 'rage attacks', synthroid, reglan syrup and prevacid. In the past we tried ritalin, cylert and adderal, all which gave the reverse effect desired. In august, this doc decided to switch him from catapres to tenex. That was a disaster, so we switched him back. I am wondering if testosterone has anything to do with it. He is 13 and in puberty.

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2001 Report Share Posted April 4, 2001 Deb, At first we tried Brook on Tegretol and it really turned him into a totally spaced out kid, he was on a very high toxic dose we later learned and it didn't help at all with the seizures. Next, when Brook was very small we had him on depakote and we raised the dose to stop his myoclonic seizures and he actually started having more seizures than on a lower dose. His neuro wanted to raise it even more but I didn't because I was afraid he would have even more seizures so we lowered it and for a little while he was better and then he started having more seizures. So finally we started raising it very slowly and then the seizures went away for about a week until he started havning petit mal ones and we raised it again and then the seizures stopped. It was all extremely confusing and we went to a different neuro who didn't really know why that was going on. We had a lot of studies on Depakote and different types of problems but the neuro still wasn't sure what happened. She also made sure that we always gave Brook a supplement called Carnitor because depakote can make you carnitore deficient which leads to a bunch of other problems. If you want more info on Carnitor let me know. As for the blood levels his were fine I believe, but we weren't doing then that frequently. Maybe every six months and then once a year.
