Guest guest Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 HI Norma, I did a quick yahoo search and found out that Razadyne used to be called Reminyl. While I'm not 100% certain I believe that lexapro is made by the same company that makes celexa - another anti-depressant. It should be OK. I have read on this list that someone's LO is taking this with good results but I can't remember who it was now. Courage.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 besides advair and ventolyn what other meds are you taking for asthma. I am wondering if my dds should change the advair to something else or if there is some other combo that works better? thanks. jean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 QVar (3 puffs, 2x/da7), Symbicort (2 puffs, 2x/day), Ventolin (as needed), Albeuterol nebs as needed, Xolair injections 1x/mo. Those are the asthma meds ... I also have blood pres meds, insulin and a slow release nitro for angina. I sound like I should be 90+ ... OY!

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 The new job is good. I still have a lot to learn, though. I finished my pred yesterday but had to leave work early as my rescue puffer was not doing the trick. I came home, used my neb 3 times and woke up wheezing. I see my doc on Tuesday.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Hi I am in competition with Mike to see who has the longest medicine list. Please do not take mine as normal. I am going to give it to you so you can have the options to research. For asthma: Xyzal, Symbicort, Pulmicort, Performist, vitamin D 1000IU, (Duoneb and Combivent as rescue). This is two corticosteroids and a LABA. Not the normal. I also have GERD (very common in asthmatics) and take Protonix for that. Type II diabetes (from prednisone) requires metformin, and prednisone related cholesterol takes simvistatin. I also take meds to help with kidney stone issues, depression, and insomnia.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 his Ann. I was typing a reply and it disappeared,lol...here I go again. it is hard for my daughter to avoid things she is allergic to for the most part...she tested off the grid for dust and she is also allergic to trees, grasses, pollen etc. other things also she can avoid like nickel, all nuts and tree nuts and a few others. she recently had a test that showed she has a partial immune deficiency..will find out more on that next Monday. anyway I guess I wanted to see what else people were taking so I can research and ask the dr about...seems better when i know what I am talking about at these appts. thanks for the reply. jean > > The thing with asthma and all the stuff thats out there for it is that what works for one person may or may not work for the next. Getting good control is a matter of trial and error and knowing your triggers and how to avoid them (which in some cases is much easier said than done depending on what the triggers are). > > > Ann > > > > > > meds > > > > > > besides advair and ventolyn what other meds are you taking for asthma.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 I'm limited to expired Intal, Cromolyn Sodium for inflammation, expired Albuterol for a rescue inhaler, and my new dry powder Serevent Discus since I'm allergic to the new green inhalers. The new pulmonologist says it's the preservative and not the propellant that is most likely with my corn allergy. I also take oral Singulair. I have new nebulizer Cromolyn and Albuterol, but the specialist won't let me use them until I have the lung function test so he can check me for allergic reactions while in that controlled setting. I am glad that there are meds that help but wish there were one or two that would do the work of all the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
