Well, I don't think that is it......he is describing the patient as becoming eulimbic by placing him on Wellbutrin or Effexor. I think he is making up a word....like the opposite of limbic dysfunction is eulimbic. Bev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 1, 2001 Report Share Posted August 1, 2001 Jan, Euvolemic was the first thing that I thought of too. I type it all the time, especially when referring to dialysis patients, which we treat a lot. It means the patient's volume status is normal, not dehydrated and not volume overloaded.

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2001 Report Share Posted August 1, 2001 Bev, You could be correct. Sorry, I didn't know the context before saying euvolemic. Eulimbic does seem to fit, just leave it to the docs to keep right on making up words to fit what they are trying to say.
