http://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/cyp450-test/basics/definition/prc-20013543 I learned about the test on this site, searching for luvox. Thank you. Thank you fightUc, never thought of that!...
My daughter said she couldn't stand her irritability on prozac so she stopped it and now the dr is going to try to taper her from Lexapro (not working anymore) to luvox, starting off slow, 25mg. Has...

Thank you Hibee. She has a new therapist she has seen a few times, and likes. The past therapist, that she was with for a year,recommended a dbt program and then after she started going to the group...
Thank you so much for your reply AngelLisa. Its very hard to tell her what to tell the dr because she says she wants to handle it, so its good to be able to get advice/support from others that know....

Thank you all for your comments. This is so worrisome, especially since her neurotoxin brain injury. We are both concerned with any new medications and how her brain might react....
Good morning, just wanted to bump this up for any more input. Thank you....
thank you AngelLisa. I don't know the dose. She does have rapid pulse once and awhile. Now that you mention that another dr said that Lexapro can raise your heart rate. I don't trust doctors........
My daughter was recently diagnosed with Generalized anxiety disorder. She has been on lexapro for 10 years, started when she had her first surgery for Ulcerative colitis. In the past 6 months her...
Hello. I read some of your posts ManicMarj. Could you please let me know what psychiatrist in Chicago you use? My daughter is trying to find a new dr for meds. Thank you!...
Does anyone have a good psychiatrist, or doctor for medication management in Chicago area? Thank you....
Sorry I miss read your post. Thanks....

So the dr finally called last night, with his kid yelling in the background, and he said it wasn't too much of a reduction and she must be sensitive to the 5mg of prozac. He told her to drop the...
Happy turtle, If I may ask, did you attend a DBT program or individual therapy?...
Thank you Larry. I hope it is good for her, I want her to feel better....
Thank you Hibee. My daughter Has been on a low dose of lexapro, 5-10mg for 8 years. In the past year, the psychiatrist at college increased her Lexapro from 10 to 30, so she has been on 30 for about...
My daughter attends a therapy program. The psychiatrist, who she just saw for the first time, is changing her meds from Lexapro (no longer working) to prozac for the OCD. I think the reduction was...
Hi. My daughter could not tolerate steroids or enriched either. Crohns can sometimes be treated with antibiotics and also 5asa drugs depending on what is going on. Hope you feel better...
Thanks gumby, I hope you are wrong. She became gravely ill while on immunosuppressants and high steroids when she was 10. Drs have not wanted to touch that subject since then. Good idea about the...
kicking this back up with hopes that someone will have any ideas other than steroids to help with inflammation. My daughter has ulcers at the resection site which might be causing her pain, dr not...
thanks JaSanne and HabsHockeyfan. She called and spoke with the nurse who said instead of 9mg take 3mg today and see how she does with that and the antihistamine. This afternoon she has new patches...

Congratulations on your son's scholarship and grad school! The MRE was negative for any strictures or narrowing, thank God. Enjoy the weekend!...
Hi Gumby,hope you are feeling better today. I would have to say, as others have, that the lump is scar tissue but a call to your surgeon to reassure you. Also, the immodium question, well I guess...
Hi crohnssucks. My daughter is 26 and had a resection last July. Sorry to hear that you have to have surgery. Her surgery was emergency, total blockage. I hope your surgery goes well and you feel...
My daughter does not take pain meds, just tramadol and only for the first 48 hrs after surgery. She has an epidural with numbing meds, but only enough to take the edge off so she can walk. So because...
Hi. Gumby, Have you eaten anything? Does the dr hear bowel sounds? Are you passing gas? You are doing everything you can for your part of this. Walking is important and you are doing that. Sorry you...
Hi. After my daughter's resection and even her strictureplasty she had to eat and poop before going home. Talk to your doc and express your concerns. It is much worse to get re-admitted if there is...
Hi gumby. My daughter had a 4cm resection last year. As I recall, since it was July, I think she spent a lot of time in sundresses. Her surgery was not lapro, but he went in through the bikini cut....
Hope all goes well for you on Tuesday. Sounds like you are better off at home with an experienced surgeon....
Hope it all works out for you and you feel better soon....

Imran, i'm glad you are well! We tried many things over the past 21 years since my daughter's diagnosis that others thought was crazy. I understand, you try things out of desperation and in my...
