[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 216652, member: 1233"] The ONLY medication Jess takes on a daily basis is the Keppra. the other medications are ONLY taken IF Jess has a problem. THIS doctor added the amitryptiline to prevent Jess' migraines. And this medication was removed by this doctor. The doctor basically said she is uncomfortable adding ANY medication to Jess' body because JEss has had "atypical" reactions to a few medications. Um, kids becoming disinhibited (or higher than a kite, in layman's terms) on prozac is NOT atypical. And it is the only other reaction that this doctor has records/knowledge of. JEss did have considerable problems when getting onto an anti-seizure medication. But htat was all done through the neuro. And none of her reactions were atypical. Just too much dulling from the topomax and she felt like she had a cold for 2 months with the keppra at first. Most medications bug her stomach, but they always have. So she eats before seh takes them if possible, and it is common for kids to react this way. I can't figure out how ONE medication is too many medications to be on for the doctor to prescribe other medications for. She wouldn't really answer, just started easing out of the room. RIGHT as Jess started shaking and wanted me to hold her. JEss was up on the table, which isway above normal seating height. So I didn't want her to fall. I am glad I was not the only one confused. I could see if Jess took 3 medications daily, but it is just the one. HEck, thank you takes advair, singulair, claritin and generic zantac every day (over the counter zantac for GERD - goes with asthma). The docs have never even suggested he SEE a specialist, much less go to one for everything because he is on "too much medication". I don't want to bring up thank you, because I don't want to have to take him to the specialist all the time either. It takes 3 months MINIMUM to see any specialist. And the neuro charges $10 per prescription written or called in between visits. [/QUOTE]
