testing for poison

[Guest guest]

Hello. Would anyone know what test to ask doctors for to check for poisoning?

I have been having extreme weight loss, fatigue (even with high doses of

Nuvigil), skin bruising, skin sores, extreme burning muscle and joint pain,

pounding heart, very high then very low blood pressure, near loss of

coinscousness on and off and extreme confusion.

Regular cbc is normal, although platlets were a bit elevated...ekg showed

tachycardia.

I understand doctors should know what tests to order; however, they sort of

smirkl and do the routine blood tests..thyroid, liver, cbc..all normal.

So I really would like to know the exact names of the tests to request...also,

there are some poisons that don;t show, right? Potassium Chloride?

Thank you for your help.

Seems I read that analysis of hair sample is more accurate when it comes to some

poisons.

Lori,

Nuvigel is in a class of medication that cause weight loss

Also what you are describing sounds like s Syndrone and my neice

had this, please get checked for this and everything you have listed are side

effects of Nuvigil

Serious rash, including s- Syndrome (SJS), requiring

hospitalization and discontinuation of treatment, has been reported in adults in

association with the use of armodafinil and modafinil, and in children in

association with use of modafinil.

Also:

Rare cases of serious or life-threatening rash, including SJS, Toxic Epidermal

Necrolysis (TEN) and Drug Rash with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS)

have been reported in adults and children in postmarketing experience with

modafinil.

No serious skin rashes were reported in adult clinical trials of armodafinil.

However, cases of serious rash similar to those observed with modafinil

including skin and mouth blistering have been reported in adults in

postmarketing experience.

There are no factors, including duration of therapy, that are known to predict

the risk of occurrence or the severity of rash. Although benign rashes occur

with NUVIGIL, it is not possible to reliably predict which rashes will prove to

be serious. NUVIGIL should ordinarily be discontinued at the first sign of rash

unless the rash is clearly not drug-related.

Cases of angioedema and hypersensitivity (with rash, dysphagia, and

bronchospasm) were observed among patients treated with NUVIGIL. Multi-organ

hypersensitivity reactions, including at least one fatality postmarketing, have

occurred in close temporal association to the initiation of modafinil. Patients

should be advised to discontinue NUVIGIL and immediately report to their

physician any signs or symptoms suggesting multi-organ hypersensitivity,

angioedema or anaphylaxis.

Patients should be advised that their level of wakefulness may not return to

normal. Although NUVIGIL has not been shown to produce functional impairment,

any drug affecting the CNS may alter judgment, thinking or motor skills.

Patients should be frequently reassessed for their degree of sleepiness and

functional impairment and, if appropriate, advised to avoid driving or any other

potentially dangerous activity.

Psychiatric adverse experiences have been reported in patients treated with

modafinil. Post marketing adverse events associated with the use of modafinil

have included mania, delusions, hallucinations, suicidal ideation and

aggression, some resulting in hospitalization. In controlled trials in adults

administered NUVIGIL, psychiatric symptoms resulting in treatment

discontinuation were anxiety, agitation, nervousness, and irritability. Caution

should be exercised when NUVIGIL is given to patients with a history of

psychosis, depression, or mania. Consider discontinuing NUVIGIL if psychiatric

symptoms develop.

Patients with a recent history of myocardial infarction or unstable angina

should be treated with caution. NUVIGIL should not be used in patients with a

history of left ventricular hypertrophy or in patients with mitral valve

prolapse who have experienced mitral valve prolapse syndrome when previously

receiving CNS stimulants. There were also a greater proportion of patients on

NUVIGIL requiring new or increased use of antihypertensive medications compared

to patients on placebo. Increased monitoring of blood pressure may be

appropriate in patients on NUVIGIL.

NUVIGIL may interact with drugs that inhibit, induce, or are metabolized by

cytochrome P450 isoenzymes. The effectiveness of steroidal contraceptives may be

reduced when used with NUVIGIL and for one month after discontinuation of

therapy. The concomitant use of NUVIGIL and alcohol has not been studied and

should be avoided.
