Guest guest Posted March 31, 2004 Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 I know periactin has been discussed many times and have read many of the old posts on periactin. yesterday I got our ped to prescribe my daughter Naomi periactin she wrote 1 to 3 cc 3 times a day before meals (2mg/5ml). BTW, she has been off tube for 2 weeks and promtly lost 5 ounces so I really wanted to try periactin before going back to the tubes, and asks her ped for it who prescribed rightaway so I am sort of going back behind the GI who is not too keen about it. Anyway, I gave her 0.5 cc (starting the 4-week ramping up routine) last night, she fell asleep rightaway, then both her night and early morning feed was so sleepy cried through the feedings and split up (her reflux has been really under control and she is on meds), and was cranky and sleepy this morning. Managed to eat 80% of what she eats usually for breakfast but did not split up anymore (it should have been out of her system by then). And this on the first day on 50% of one dose (the lowest of the range given). I am kind of disheartened and not sure about continuing, since my husband has great reservations about the med since I asked for it and was not given by the doctors really. Thanks Sabina mother of Naomi 12 lb 11 onces (down from 13 lbs) and 24 inches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
