Joya, I am so sorry. I have two cats and a dog and they are our family.

About 5 years ago, we lost 3 pets in 2 years. It was almost too much to

bear. Animals just don't live long enough. I will be thinking about you.

I'm sooo sorry to hear about Sheba. It's strange, on the way home

from work today, I started to cry thinking about Konrad, my sweet

shephard/huskie mix who I had to euthanize over 3 years ago. I feel

for you!

Big hugs,

who can't understand why the furry babies have such short lifespans

while yucko snakes live into their 50s. (i know they're

coldblooded...blah, blah, blah...it just isn't fair!...sorry snake-

lovers)

I absolutely know what you mean, Joya, and my heart goes out to you. I lost

one of my dogs last November, and not a day goes by that I don't think about

him. And I understand about not feeling like doing Tae Bo. Totally

understandable.

who will be thinking of Joya.

Joya,

I'm so sorry to hear about your baby. I'm a fur-mommy myself and understand how

upset you must be. Take your time to grieve and then you can smile about all

the happy memories she brought you.

Hugs,

Joya,

I am so sorry that you have lost a fur baby! I know what an

important place they hold in our hearts and it is so sad to let them

go! You are in my thoughts and I hope that the happy memories you

have had with Sheba will help you through this difficult time!

My Mom gets 30mg of Remeron and 100mg of Trazodone. At bedtime. During the

day she is receiving 200mg of Neurontin 3xs daily. She gets the Remeron and

Trazadone to help her sleep. I don't know if there is any affect from the

Neurontin. She has been sleeping through the night for the last 6 weeks.

Ativan just increased my Mom's agitation. It was a disaster.

She can't take any Neuroleptics.

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the info Mariea -- we are admitting her tomorrow so

will discuss with the doc what he thinks may help. Will take

these drug names with me! I definitely want her off of Ativan - I

have never seen her like this before.

Sorry for what your mom is going through. Risperdol helps with the

hallucinations one in the morning now and one at night. She also takes

Trazadone at bedtime it calms her down and helps with sleep. If that doesn't

do the trick then a couple of hours later she takes Resperal for sleep. I

hope you and her doctor find a solution. Is she seeing a Neurologist? That

is who prescribed mom's medication, her regular doctor is well, lets just

say A JERK. good luck, shirley

When my dad was admitted to hospitals, during admission, when asked if

he had any allergies, I told them " sensitive to neuroleptics " . After a

few visits, he ended up wearing a hospital bracelet that read " Sensitive

to Neuroleptics " so the word would be out to all staff seeing my dad.

There are many neuroleptics in this category. Also, there is the

pharmaceutical name and the generic name, which can be very confusing.

For instance, Lorazepam is Ativan. Both are the same drug, just

referenced differently. One reason my dad was on Ativan for almost a

year is it was listed as Lorazepam, and I had known of Ativan.

Confused? I sure was. Also keep in mind Haldol is another neuroleptic.

Some neuroleptics are supposedly not as serious...as in the

anti-depressants. It seems to be the anti-psychotics that may be more

harmful. Hope this helps and didn't confuse you more. If you want me

to look up any drug, I have a drug handbook that I would be more than

happy to help with.

Keeping you close in prayers!

Thanks Sandie,

Just got home after l-o-n-g day -- staff psychiatrist has agreed to

wean her off of the Ativan, and they plan to manipulate the other

meds to see if she can get some relief. We need to keep her on

some of these to control symptoms -- she is back on Geodon

which we used before with good results (except potentially

aggravating the tremor). Admit went well today - she even

recognized one of the nurses from a former stay. But busy day

with all the getting checked-in stuff - and it looks as if it will be

another 2 weeks in there to get things squared away.

Thanks for praying - amazed out how perfectly things are working

out with small details, even getting to bypass the ER for getting

admitted was very, very helpful. Now on to catch up with all these

other posts -- this is a busy list!

Sounds like good news that your mom will be weaned off the Ativan.

Definately believe in the power of prayer. Sounds like you have

testimonies yourself as well. Stay strong, and keep the faith.
