Original post:Help, I disagree with Dr,'s Rx! Has anyone ever disagreed before?

[Guest guest]

Quick thank you to all of you that read my cry for help! You guys are the best!

Glad to know I am not the only one butting heads with our dear Doctor!

My son did get crazy on Bactrim as I suspected, he went nuts; knocking things

over, laughing hystericly, smearing lotion on furniture, dumping and pouring

liquid all day, screeching, less verbal, climbing on counters, and became a wild

monkey. I have him on probiotics, but I need to find stronger ones. I need Dr.

to hear me that, these antibiotics regress him badly.

Now he has caught the flu and has fever. UGH! He is calmer, as he is so

totally sick and won't eat. If not one thing, than another.

If he is wild after he is done with his flu bug, I am going to ask Dr. G to take

him off the antibiotics.

Thanks again great parents for your wonderful comments and for always being

there!!!

Thanks all!
