Guest guest Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 Hi, Tegretol (carbamazepine) Seizure control Topomax (topirimate) Seizure control Regards Medications Hello everyone, I would like to know if parents would be willing to share with me what kind of medication, if any, their children may be on for a specific disability. I would like to compile a list of medications that are used for my own records. I am not asking for names of children, only the name of the medication and what they are taking it for. I would like to be able to have a list of commonly used medications, for certain disabilities, so that if a parent comes to me and says The doctor wants my child on this med. we could look at the list, they could then do their own research if they choose. But at least they would know that this was not uncommon, I would like my parents to be able to make informed choices! Thank you so much for your assistance, and help. I do appreciate it! --------------------------------- Yahoo! for Good Click here to donate to the Hurricane Katrina relief effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 Hi Ann, Our son currently takes the following meds: Tofranil for sleep Nexium for Reflux Singulair for Allergies soon to add Levsin for drooling Supplements: Melatonin, Carn-Aware, Pro EFA and soon to be adding probiotics and piracetem He recently tried Robinul for drooling and it increased his secretions and made him irritable. He was also on REGLAN for 1.5 years only to find out that his leg and hand tremors were being caused by this drug. Upon research we found that Reglan is a drug with NUMEROUS CNS side effects, some of which are irreversible. I don't know why they prescribe this drug at all, much less to people who are already neurologically impaired. In speaking to several pharmicists they agreed that is a " nasty " drug. I would strongly advise people who are prescribed this drug research all of the potential side effects, weigh the benefit vs. the risk and try all other drugs available for reflux before using Reglan. Just my opinion...hope this helps! Krista~ mom to , 3, CBPS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 Krista- Thank you for that response, I would like to add it to our note book. Of course I will take your e-mail address off, and your name and 's! I'm very impressed with parents who RESEARCH medications. So many of our parents don't do that, and we're really not sure why! Please think about letting me add your e-mail, I want other parents to see that you should research these things. We have to question even our doctors. After all, they too are olny human, and do make mistakes! Thank you Have a great day!

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 You are very welcome, Ann. And, you CAN add my email to the list. I definitely believe in doing my own research on all medications prescribed for as well as any procedures they want to do......as you said, Doctors don't know everything and we have to be our children's advocates. No one else is going to do it for us! Good luck with your advocacy!!! Krista > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
