Re: Are you sure about Prozac Lotion?

January 5, 2003

Hi, I am fairly new here and I do not recall ever posting

before......but I remember reading about the prozac lotion and my

initial thought was pretty goofy. However, it probablly can be made.

My son (3yr.) needed something to help him sleep because we were not

surviving on the sleep we were getting. The problem (with getting him

to take meds) was almost like you would experience with your Jenna. I

asked his Doc about a liquid and she said it could be done at one of

two compounding pharmacies in town (I think I am starting to master

the fine art of liquid meds and no gag). She called the one closer to

our residence and they could not make what we need, she called the

other and they said they could. The pharmacy suggested a lotion form

they could make instead. They said their lotion compounds they make

are so much easier for the kiddos and parents.

So, to make a long story short......check into a pharmacy that makes

compound prescriptions.

Good luck,

Dawn

Thanks Dawn

WEll, i did get the lotion, no help from my doctor tho,

he was clueless as to the lotion, but the pharmacy in my

very small town, did make it for me...and it is SO much

easier doing it this way..And Jenna actually ASKS for it..

If Jenna's asking for it, I wonder if it's the rubbing she likes or if she

knows she feels better from it?
