[QUOTE="buddy, post: 476470, member: 12886"] This and the other things you said about medication reactions that were unusual....the hospital with the hallucinations etc... I have talked about this on other threads and a couple of others have chimed in. My son also got enough medication. to knock out a man when he was 3 yrs old for an MRI. He barely fell a little asleep and that was after I kicked everyone out of the room and turned the lights off and rocked him to sleep. Over the years he has had strange responses to starting medications, some dont work, some he needs huge amounts of and others only a little sends him off the deep end. Our pediatrican finally did a liver enzyme study to see how his body processed medications. It turned out he had a major problem with one enzyme system and the levels were little to none of the enzymes needed to process medications. so, sure enough, there were certain chemicals/medications that were listed that he would be overly sensitive to and others that would probably just not work, and if they did he might need a large dose. I have been told 6-7% of the population has this, so not super rare but it is a big deal for people who really need medication to get along in life.... If you check and it is not a problem, that is wonderful...just the usual tough time medicating that some people have. But if you find out it is an issue it sure helps to elminate false leads/waste of time trials of medications. [/QUOTE]
