My family doctor gives me the refills for the zoloft but it's just so expensive. My insurance only pays half of my meds and I think it's over $90 for 3 month supply. I can hardly afford all the meds I take but can't afford to live without them either.

[Guest guest]

I always wonder what people without insurance do. Between my kids and

I our med costs are over $500 a month now. We get 80% back from

insurance but it's still a struggle.

Anyway, if you can tolerate Prozac, it is cheaper than Zoloft now that

Prozac is past it's copyright days. Unfortunately, it made my

daughter photosensitive and she is a gardener. Other than that, it

worked just as well.

[Guest guest]

My daughter's Zoloft is monitored by our GP. If you find you can't

manage without it, I'd talk to your other docs. My Cardiologist

offered to prescribe something for me if I felt I needed it. I've

BTDT a few times and am trying really hard to stay off them because I

get ALL the nasty side effects.

Hi all,

I met a woman today who has an autistic daughter (about 20 y/o). We were

discussing menstruation & meds, etc. She said her daughter is on The Pill

and was having severe cramping before that (she said she was traumatized

from 3 days of cramping before starting The Pill). She said that her

pediatrician refused to prescribe it, the psych - who agreed she needed it -

refused to prescribe it (let's face it - it's not the 'usual' med they

prescribe). She contacted Planned Parenthood & explained her dilemma, &

they were very happy to give it to her. The mom was ready to get a

prescription for herself & give it to her daughter. So, just keep this info

'in the back of your mind' in case you ever have problems getting 'The Pill'

for your daughter - try Planned Parenthood. The Pill is my ''plan of action'

once my daughter (almost 13) gets her period.

Hi Beth,

I want Ben's doc for . This doc almost sounds like this

doctor I had the privilege of hearing at a conference. Dr. Max

Wiznitizer. His discussion was on; An Approach To The Evaluation Of

The Individual With Autism/PDD along with Practical Issues in

Autism. I am aware of a new doctor who just moved here in San

. I just hope she's as good as these docs. 's Ped. doc

is nice but he is not as educated like these docs. Prayers that many

Ped. will come forward on continuing to work with us parents just

like Ben's doc. Gosh, time flies, better head out to work.

Take care.

> Our pediatrician prescribes all of Ben's meds. We have been

very fortunate because he has seen PB since birth. He sees a large

number of kids with DS and a large number of kids with autism. He

has a growing reputation as a doctor who " gets " our kids. We have

often met for over an hour just to TALK about behavior issues, the

meds, school stuff, etc. We met with him three times to consult

before we agreed to begin PB on clonidine, his first " behavioral "

med. I call in and talk to his nurse at least once a month and

sometimes weekly to report how he's doing behaviorally. We can make

changes in doses with much more confidance as a result. For

[Guest guest]

Beth,

Yes, we are very pleased at how well Brook is doing on Risperdal. I

would say mainly because it has made a big impact on our family. Life is

definitely less stressful now that Brook is not obsessed with water and

throwing, etc. That makes a huge difference for the whole family. I would

have to say though, that I have not seen any significant gains in his

development from the medication.

Some meds

work really well for some kids and others do not respond to meds… My son didn’t

need meds until the month prior to him turning 14. With the hormonal changes,

he went into a downward spiral, and we were able to get something to work

really well for him on the second try… Other kiddos need meds much earlier in

life due to anxiety, depression, anger, obsessive/compulsive behaviors, etc. Some

doctors push it, others don’t. I think it really is up to the parents to really

look at how their child does on the meds versus off and make their own

determination of what is in their child’s best interest. After all, the

doctor/social worker/teacher is in their lives for a relatively short period in

their lives…. You are there forever!

The doctor whom gave my

son this diagnosis also gave me two book titles to read they were Tony

Attwood’s books that I need to check out at the library. On another subject,

what do you think of SSRI meds for Autism? The counselor pushes and believes

these meds work wonders for their social lives etc. Prozac these kinds of drugs

typically used for depression/anxiety etc. Currently my son had been on

Tenex (a blood pressure med that works from the back door doc says) I took him

off when he had gotten sick and couldn’t keep anything down. I knew we were to

see a new doc that liked SSRI meds so I didn’t put him back on in fear we were

going to have a change of meds at the appointment shortly after his sickness.

Well what happened was he ended up missing too much school and I re scheduled

the appt. Now he isn’t on meds hasn’t been for awhile. I know it’s coming and

IM just looking into some info on different meds.

The

way I handle my refill issue is to use the 7 day pill boxes. I have one

for morning & one for night. I fill them up every Saturday & if I won’t

have enough to fill up the following week, I order the refills that week &

leave the empty bottles on the counter to remind me to go get them. That

has me getting refills about a week before I need them.

Geez,

Allan, do you have to go to the drug store almost every day for a refill since

you have so many?

RE: Give In - Give Up or Live Your Life

Hi De,

In my case, I'm on SSDI but they

consider me (in GA at least) a " dual eligible " meaning I qualify for

Medicare AND Medicaid. As such Medicare pays my Part D premium, there is no

deductible and my co-pays are $1 for generic and $3 for brand until Medicare

and I combined spend $3600 than I have no co-pays. It took one round of

prescriptions for my co-pays to go away. In GA the Medicaid program I qualify

for (because of the amount of SSDI I get) is something called " Medicaid

Spend Down " which covers everything once I hit $1400 out of pocket.

You're right that the Medicare Part

D plan sucks by itself. It's good for people that don't take a lot of meds. My

Mother got a prescription drug plan to go with the Part D to cover the

" donut hole " .

An interesting thing I just learned

is that Medicare will not let you refill a prescription until just about the

time you run out of the med. So much for stockpiling meds! In my case it really

has made it VERY confusing because I have like 26 prescriptions which will all

renew at different times. The other thing that sucks is that so far I have had

to get 4 " pre-authorizations " because while the med might be on

the formulary it may not be covered by the Part D formulary or the dosage is

higher than the company views as the " normal " prescribed dosage.

Suffice to say it has been a nightmare.

I can't wait to see what happens

after I go to the Pain Management Center next week.

Allan with 2 L's please just give me

my meds at let me go away

[Guest guest]

I've been to the drugstore 4 times in the past week and I know it will be at least 2 trips next week.

I do the same thing with the pillbox except mine is a giant one with 4 compartments for every day. Add to that 2 insulin vials, 2 puffers and the ever-popular lactulose. I refill my box when I have 3 days left in case something happens to me and I have to go to the hospital. I carry the box with me along with the puffers and my insulin (with a dozen syringes) whenever I leave the house. I learned the hard way that it takes the hospital at least 2 days to get my meds and the orders straight.

Allan with 2 L's yup that's my backpack

Hey Darlene,

Just came to the Business Center here at the Inn and thought I would

respond. They had a really nice dinner sponsered by a local venue

tonight and the kids got to make ice-cream sundaes!! Awesome evening

after a long day. Now the kids and some adults are off to scrapbook!!

And I am here!! LOL

As for Ibuprofen... yes that is basically what I choose to treat with.

He responds well to it for the past year. Prior to this we always had

to alternate every 3 hrs around the clock with Ibuprofen and Tylenol.

(Suppository because ph vomits the Tylenol liquid and chewables

for some reason!)

Now his temps only elevate to 104 usually and a dose will bring him

down to 101 and he functions fine... The fevers do last much longer

than when he was younger... this past year they have gone to 8-14

days. So longer but lower in elevation.

The docs here offer different methods... of treatment including

enbrel, methotrexate and more invasive IV meds such as Remicade. There

is one little boy here now who has an very complicated fever disorder

of unknown etiology who has begun Remicade her monthly and eventually

will stretch to every 6 weeks... and he is on Prednisone and

MEthotrexate home. But he is a very little sick boy with other organ

involvement and a rash that has never totally went away... he also has

growth issues... so his Mom, who is also an RN... chose this

treatment... he has been fever free since.

My son, has had significant fevers, with other symptoms, including

chronic meningitis, hives constantly subsiding about 10 hours in a day

with knee pain and no arthritic changes... he vomits with the fevers

and has abdominal pain with loose stools during events etc... BUT he

is well controlled IN MY OPINION.

I monitor his labs and his inflammatory indicators like SED rate and

CRP continue to elevate high during events HOWEVER in between these

indicators continue to return to normal. This is WHY I decided NOT to

medicate further.

If the indicators eventually change and remain elevated of course I

will re-evaluate and possibly add medication. I have discussed this at

length with Kastner and Goldbach-Mansky and they both agree with my

rationale.

Only you and the docs together can decide what is right.... What is

good for one of our kids with PFS may not be good for another. I LOOK

at everything including LONG term effect. I know many people look at

immediate effects... I do not.

So, If I were you, educate yourself (which you probably already have

because I know you!!!) and go in with questions... regarding your

child's indicators and make an infomed decision. There is so much

these doctors STILL do NOT KNOW!! So the decision is one you must make

with them and use your GUT feeling as a MOM who is educated!!!\

I hope this helps you.

With Love

Darlene,

If what you are doing is working for you then you go with it!!!!! Start with

the least amount of meds and stay there as long as you can!! Start second

guessing and you might never stop! I did that for a long time and still do on

occasion but I always find when I start second guessing our decision I become

very depressed and anxious about Breana and treatment. Stick with your gut

Hi Fran,

I just read your post from the NIH, glad to hear all is going well.

You must be excited about the tour to the White House. When we were at the NIH

in May, we walked past the White House and that was pretty neat!!

My question is, you posted that you control ph's fevers with Ibuprofen and

Tylenol. Does this mean that presesntly he is not on other meds? The reason I

ask is that we have treated Madison's TRAPS so far (4 yrs) with Advil only. You

may have seen my post on the TRAPS site stating that we are not sure that we are

doing the right thing by not trying other meds. I really respect the wealth of

knowledge and help you give to others and I wanted to know your opinion if we

are doing more harm than good by only treating with Advil. I have never asked

Dr. Kastner this but will on our next visit.

I understand if you are too busy to answer this until you get home. Have a

good trip and safe travel home.

I'm actually looking into Yamoa Powder for my asthma... I recently learned about it and figured.. what the heck.. I'll try anything once.

meds

I bought all my meds together this week and my co-pay is over two hundred dollars on perscription meds. I just feel like crying. The advair alone is 80 and I was actually glad when I was switched to pulmacourt because more meds came in one despenser for a little more money, but it didn't keep the asthma down.I wish there was a good test, like a blood test, to see if I have asthma all the time, or just when the allergies are bad. I would love to think I could get away from taking advair for the rest of my life.I just wish I knew what was causing this and why? I worked with arcylic paints all my life as an artist and set worker. Why all of a sudden have I become hyper sensative to all this stuff? How can I change that? Could there be something wrong with my imune system causing this?Any more asthma sites would be greatly appreciated. I am not dealing with this well, it is making me and my whole family sad.Dawn

[Guest guest]

One allergy 'fact' that surprised me (and I'm sorry I

can't remember the source) is that you can become

allergic to something at any point in your life. You

may have eaten tomatoes for 50 years and all of a

sudden be allergic.

That goes with what I think also. That's why I don't go through the routine

What a grat idea!

I can't swallow big pills, so I got a pill chopper that also has

storage compartments in it. It holds my morning dosage of " stuff " ,

and I pack it in the morning and take it to work so I can take

my " meds " at my desk with about 4 bottles of water. Then when I come

home at night I take my night time dose. I have the " meds " in a place

that makes it impossible to forget to take tehm, and it's part of my

evening routine at this point.
