Guest guest Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Hey , when we saw our doctor he put our child on one drug at a time so you can identify what drug is working and which one isn't. Also this eliminates your child from having 2 die-offs at once. For some children die-off can last for weeks I have heard.

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Hi Jen, he has been on Fluzol for a long time now without the negative side affects so we must assume it is the Valtrex causing the problems. Is the change in him to be viewed as a positive thing and should we see it as a healing regression or does it mean that Valtrex is not working for our son. _____ From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of Sent: 17 March 2011 02:55 AM Subject: Re: Severely Hyperactive Hey , when we saw our doctor he put our child on one drug at a time so you can identify what drug is working and which one isn't.
