Avatar f tn I have researched and see that some pediatricians recommend Melatonin to help with sleeplessness in children with certain neurological disorders. That is fine and well, but I do not agree with giving my child a medication that I don't see he needs and his pediatrician has not ordered. So here's my question: is it unsafe for a child to *intermittently* take Melatonin? There are many drugs out there that are not OK to 'start and stop'. Is Melatonin one of them?
Avatar f tn Take pictures of any injuries he causes, and file a complaint against him at your local courthouse. Take the children with you. Never leave them alone with him, or leave them anywhere he may be able to take them from (like school or babysitter). SHOW THEM the pictures. TELL THEM while you are there at the courthouse that he lives with you and you fear for the safety of your children, your unborn child, and yourself.
Avatar n tn The answer to your second question regarding where to travel with children is a complicated discussion based in risk assessment, your risk tolerance, your planned activities at each destination, your accommodations at each destination, etc. In the travel medicine clinic setting, we often have these types of discussions that are specific to each travel destination. I welcome additional specific questions that you may have. ~•~ Dr.

Avatar f tn She is going to have to taper off of them slowly if she comes of them. Be patient (with her), but be forceful with safety....driving like that can end very quickly and badly...keep us posted!
Avatar f tn People do not understand why we cannot control he has escaped from the house, escapes when in public to the point that we have to keep him on a kid restraint line for safety so he does not get away. I feel like we have to keep him under lock and key at all times. If your eyes are not on him he is getting into trouble. We even had to go as far as to get a bright pink one because the other ones he thought were cool and a toy. Please help.
Avatar f tn Bifocal or progressive multifocal eyeglasses have been shown to be largely ineffective for most myopes, however very well controlled studies consistently show anywhere from 20 to 40% slowing of myopia progression when used with children with either esophoria at near and/or various forms of focusing dysfunction.
Avatar m tn The next year, armodafinil, a related drug, was approved with a contraindication for children with a contraindication following three months later for modafinil. Contemporaneously, Cephalon agreed to pay $425 million for off-label marketing of modafinil. That means that for 18 months, the FDA kept quiet about the issue of SJS in children, while Cephalon continued off-label marketing at full steam.
203342 tn?1328737207 H1N1 is attacking the children, senors and pregnant women the most and it's life threatening, because of their low immune system. Let's all pray that this dangerous plague shall pass and I will keep this precous baby in my thoughts and prayers.

556935 tn?1215720270 25 mg of Xanax. Everything we have read says that it has not been evaluated for safety and effectiveness in children and is not generally prescribed for them. What we need to know is, is it ok for her to take them? Should we take her to see another Doctor and have something else given to her or should my husband speak to her counselor about the supposed symptoms, since they aren't something that we have ever encountered when she has been with us? Please give us some advice.
Avatar f tn 5 mg of Paxil CR for about 3 years, I had the blues after my last baby and she will be 4 this year and I also got diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. I continually fight with myself over getting off of it but it does so much for me that I dont want to. My question is will it harm me in any way for staying on it? I dont want to cause any more problems for myself by staying on it but evidently I lack serotonin and the paxil replaces it. Any info that you might give me would be greatly appreciated.

Avatar f tn me and my boyfriend (long distance) have both admitted to each other we're virgins. we've also discovered i'm the one with more experience. he's never gotten a ******** or a hand job, etc. i'm going over to visit him for a while in the summer, i've arranged to get on the birth control pill, and had mutliple talks with my mother and experienced friends about it's use in preventing pregnancies.
Avatar n tn I agree with the above poster. Your Dr knows best. I do know several people that have had stents and heart attacks and tmany of their Drs have said if you can walk up 2 flights of stairs briskly and not be out of breath then sex is safe. Do check with your Dr first though.
Avatar f tn In Australia there is a site called kidsafe that rates all available car seats, prams, strollers, cots etc that are available. It rates everything from safety through to prices. Just wondering if perhaps the US has a similar site!
Avatar n tn I have had a small glass twice during my pregnancy. The dr had no problem with it as long as is wasnt much and wasnt on a regular basis. They said it can also be good for you but not if you reach a point where you are affected in any way.

Avatar f tn Her father does not support you and refuses to parent his children. You have no control over these children, only he does. He needs to take your side and control them or you need to leave for your own safety and the safety of your kids.
