I would like to know about both of these drugs please keep me posted. Also

what was that drug in the last news letter that was being tested regarding

irritability. My memory is so bad that not only can I not remember the name

of the drug but I cannot find the news letter.

LOL

As I recall, but could be wrong, one of them was Zyprexa?

We found that it is important to give Andy his meds before a scheduled

eating time to keep things in better control. So he gets his meds before

bkfst and then before the evening snack ritual Rex and the boys share (I

can't do that......). Not that it helps everyone, mind you!

I don't believe Risperdal on it's own slows metabolism, but if it makes him

" druggy, " then that would certainly contribute to a lowered amount of

calories burned---as you already know! Boy I wish I knew something great

about this to help you!

Joan, I did that too on another post! Probably on the next

digest...hehe.....am printing it out and taking to Dr. Capone. I was looking

to see whether the drug's approved or not....didn't say in the article.

Also, there's a new NON stimulating drug for ADHD coming out this fall too.

Maybe some promise for us after all?

Have any of you heard of Levovirin, It is an improve version of ribavirin? I was reading the business news and saw it the drug is made by Roche. It should be available in the US soon.

The article also said the pegasys with combination copegus prove to be a better treatment. I have not heard of these two drug before levovirin and copegus. I just want to know anyone else had any information on these drugs. The article claims it will stop making ribavirin in the US. Just asking? LaDonna

No, haven't heard of these either, LaDonna, but I'll take this list along with my records with me Friday, to a specialist, at Miami University. My doc here failed to let me know pertinent information about my disease.....ie; I have stage 4 liver disease, with fibroids, along with the cirrhosis. My egd, he said I was fine, and the report showed stage 1 esophogeal varices, and my viral load count after being off tx for 2 months was back up to >18 million. So, I'll be writting on Friday night to let you all know what happened. I am a responder, so I'm hoping the new doc will let me be on some kind of tx. Prayers for all as always,

Donna

Yeah, that's what 's doc says, he is too hesitant to try it on since

it is so new....he hasn't seen many other docs using it either so that he can

judge its effectiveness either. Then again, nothing else this doc has tried

for has worked either!

JJ was on Geodon when it first came out for a while. He isn't now and I

can't remember why we took him off. He is on Prozax Weekly for

behaviors and Tenex for anxiety.
