How do you wean off the medicine DDAVP? I've been taking this medicine for many years only to find out my tests say I don't need it (I had small injury to pituitary in brain). Unfortunately I find it almost impossible to wean off because it makes you go to the bathroom ALOT after the medicine ware's off! since it's an anti diuretic/water retaining pill! Confusing and tricky.

One of the ways we would try to determine this was by prescribing DDAVP (if there were not any issues that would prevent using it). Desmopressin (trade names: DDAVP, Stimate, Minirin) is a synthetic replacement for vasopressin, the hormone that reduces urine production. It may be taken nasally, or as a tablet. Lack of the hormone vasopressin is more common in men than in women. Typically, those that do not produce enough will "correct" by the end of puberty (19-25 years old for men).

My question is I have asked her endocrinologist to prescribe DDAVP for her to take during several camps she has this summer. He will not because of a chance she could have a seizure. I can't remember the exact reason but it does have to do with her diabetes and how DDAVP interact in a diabetic's body. He said the chance is very low, but possible. Could you give me your thoughts on a Type 1 diabetic using DDAVP.

We have a 7 year old colllie just diagnosed with Diabetes Insipetes (nephrogenic). Vet recommends treatment with ddavp eye drop. All the information we can find says that this is "very expensive". Can you give us a ballpark of what this actually means for annual cost of care? What are the implications of leaving this untreated if she has on going access to fresh clean water?

I was diagnosed with secondary autoimmune adrenal insufficiency in December. I feel lousy most of the time, have chronic abdominal pain and abnormal stools, and feel best flat on my back...which doesn't work well for someone who works 12 hour shifts in a busy ER while selling one house, building another, and has 2 teens and a disabled husband, lol. Here's my question. If a person has say diabetes, their meds are based on their blood sugars.

There is a drug called Desmopressin (DDAVP) it reduces urine production at night. But drinking too much liquid with the medication can cause problems, and Desmopressin should be avoided if you have symptoms such as a fever, diarrhea or nausea. Be sure to carefully follow instructions for using this drug. Desmopressin is given orally as a tablet and is only for patients over 5 years old.

I have used a nasal spray (DDAVP) for three weeks, but the bleeding did not stop. I tried doubling up on the nasal spray since I was prescribed the wrong strength, but it did not help. I had my second Depo Provera shot on December 7. I thought it would help make the bleeding stop, but I am still bleeding. I have also tried a estrogen pill I was prescribed, but it has not helped. I know I will have light bleeding on the Depo Provera, but is it normal to be bleeding for 37 days?

) Then she describes the appropriate medications to use in early Lyme (when there is an erythema migrans), and says that IV ceftriaxone (Rocephin) is not appropriate at this stage. Then she is quoted saying... "You might be thinking, ‘Who in the world would use IV [intravenous] ceftriaxone for erythema migrans?’ but it happens all the time. In high-incidence areas for Lyme disease, we have lots of people who call themselves Lyme specialists who set up shop and put ads in the phone book.

I went thru a Detox program at an IV Detox place in Woodland Hills, CA. 2 years ago. You get the IV hook up and go thru the diarrhea for 2 days until all opiates are out of the system. Then they put you on Sub and immediately begin tapering you down from Day One. Unfortunately I had to move away immediately and got back on Norco, but have been self dosing with Sub for 6 months from 2mg to 1mg a day now. I need to quit, but it's tough.

I called my endocrinologist who ordered some bloodwork to look at electrolytes which came back normal on the first test, then slightly elevated sodium on the second. Because I was still having clinical symptoms of DI she prescribed DDAVP (0.05mg AM, 0.05mg PM) (pill because I can't do nasal spray, still healing up there). I find the pills work for a period of time and then the symptoms come back (within 5-8 hrs).

So I have to take DDAVP most of the time now. Before I used to be able to get away with only taking it at night. Maybe this is part of what is going on. I don't really have answer per se, but just an idea on why it might fluctuate more if u have it.

Hello Dr. A recovering addict that I know has some vein issues. In '04 he started using hydrocodone and oxycodone for back pain, rarely abusing it until last year. That is when the hydromorphone and syringe use started. 8-16mg injections with a 30gauge, 5-6 times a day was the norm. About 3 months ago, he went "cold turkey" and the veins in his hands healed nicely. About 3 weeks ago, he lost his wife, his house and his job..

Well, Jess, MS neuros have been administering huge doses of steroids for TN and other MS flares for many years. Most patients tolerate them well or at least feel that a few days of bearable side effects are worth it to get rid of the pain. I've had 2 TN attacks that have been awful. I cannot take Tegretol because it destroys my blood platelets, also my balance. I seem to do well on IV Solumedrol for TN and other issues, and feel okay about that since it's been only once a year or so.

Is it just a saline IV or is there other stuff in there also? When I have had saline IV for any reason I have felt incredibly good. I have thought about the port b/c my old doc, who retired, was doing those. But I am nervous about infection. I don't faint though so I think that if I were in your shoes I would do the same thing. I hope you have recovered from the recent fall and seizure.

I told my doctor and she put me back down to 20mg. Now when i was on the 40mg my mind was clear and i was happy. Now..... Since iv been put back on 20mg my thoughts have came back and i fear it wont work again. Any advice?

In general, the guidelines are double for illness over 100, and 100mg IV (or IM) bolus for surgery, crisis etc. You should for exercise add salt (AI is a salt wasting disease - the degree that you waste can depend but sweating will make you lose fluids). So keeping hydrated is very important for you - more important than most.

ive never went this much during the night..i had to go get on some meds called ddavp to slow it down so i can sleep..

she will have 4 packets of oatmeal and a glass of milk in the am. Another possible symptom is nocturnal enuresis. She is on DDAVP at night .05 mg X approx. 4 months. If I remember to wake her up around 2am she may be dry, before the DDAVP she was going through 2 goodnights diapers a night... if I didn't change it midway she and the bed would be completely soaked. Anyway, her Thyroid was hyperactive, and she is allergic to Milk and Eggs (she did have hives when we were at the Dr).
