exelon

Avatar n tn Exelon patch is on back order from the manufacturer until October 24. What alternatives are there?
Avatar n tn My husband has been prescibed the the 9.5 exelon patch but we still have a supply of the 4.6 patches. With them being so expensive can I use two of the 4.6 patches at the same time until we run out?
Avatar n tn She has since tested negative for H Pylori, and has been taken off Razadyne(24 mg ) for memory problems, put on Exelon (6mg patch), then taken off it after two weeks and more nausea. She has been off the Exelon patch for 72 hours, and still experiences nausea when she moves about. Still puzzling and frustrating. doctors are stumped (still) and I am feeling worthless because I cannot help her kick the nausea or find the cause. Really looking for help here. Any will be gratefully accepted.
Avatar f tn t calming her down any, and she did not refil the prescription. 2 months later she had another bad dream and the doctor was notified. He then prescribed exelon. My question: If she does not have Alzheimer's disease, why would he prescribe either of these medicines for her? If this is dimentia, aren't there other drugs out there for that or even drugs that have a claming effect? From what I have read about excelon, I am not sure if it is compatible with her heart medication.

She has been off the Exelon patch for 72 hours, and still experiences nausea when she moves about. Recently, she started back on the lower dose of Razadyne. Her neurologist doesn't think the medicine is the cause of the nausea, though it could be aggrivating whatever is causing it.

585414 tn?1288941302 I know depression can vary in how it occurs and I would be interested to know if people have experienced dissociation during depression because that how it usually appears in me. The Clonidine patch I am is very helpful but it runs out after 5 days (that's my specific titration, it usually is for 7 days) so it returns after a few days.
585414 tn?1288941302 Right now I am changing from Tenex back to Clonidine because the Tenex wasn't helpful. However, because they are both blood pressure medications (the Catapres application should be familiar to some people) they can't be taken at the same time. Additionally it has to be raised slowly because the Zofran lowers blood pressure as well.
Avatar m tn can i combine 225mg. of effexor xr with exelon or dexamphetamine to help my sedated or lethargic condition?
Avatar n tn I read your post to me about how you don't like block/replace therapy, and that you like MMI titration, what is that? HOw do you keep your patients from going hypo thyroid on only ATD's? and if they do go hypo, how do you help them if you don't use replacement? Also, does using ATD's burn out your thyroid? and does replacement burn out your thyroid? Do you consider 5mg of MMI to be a high dose of ATD?
437079 tn?1222438840 Can anyone tell me what is a Oxygen Titration test is about I will be having this tes on 4/9/08. It kinda scare me a little bit. What will they be doing for me doing this Titration.
Avatar n tn It would be helpful if the Exelon Patch advertisers didn't feel it was necessary to have their information on continual scroll. There is a reason why I don't read rolling credits at the end of a movie, too. They usually roll too fast to read and simply hurt my head and can trigger migraines. Most of the time I don't see rolling adds, but when I do, I'm put off. Uh...I did not search for anything that would have had anything to do with this particular advertiser.
Avatar f tn I feel at such a loss in trying to help my Mother. I've gone back to Neurologist and am awaiting his advise, but he doesn't appear to be emphathetic to this issue. Her GP defers to the neurologist. My 81 yr old Mother in middle to late stage Alzheimer's. She is not on any anti-anxiety med except for Paxil which was prescribed about a month ago. She gets aggitated during the day at times and especially sundowners time.
Avatar f tn where they will send you free doses for a period of time until your insurance kicks in There appears to be a titration period for strength of the drug also, the site is new and many of its selections are not working yet so I went to my caseworker (also Biogen) and she had all the available information. Also ms active source recently sent out a book detailing all the DMD drugs and the ones currently in trial, including a patch they are working on.
1673169 tn?1316541930 From what my psychiatrist told me when I was transfering from Tegretol (and other mood stabilizers that are anti-convulsants) to another medication that if the titration schedule is followed seizures are generally not a concern but you could speak to your psychiatrist more about this.
Avatar n tn Never had a problem until now. He started with temp memory loss and the doctor put him on 2 Exelon Patches per day to help him with the memory loss and also he now on Oxcarbazepine 300 mg. My question is with him taking these two type of medications he is still having seizure and cant sleep. Me as a mother do know what to think and do to help him. Can someone help me with this.
534633 tn?1214564081 Can/will ANYONE give me an understandable titration formula so when I do run out of pills, I will not seize...this what I am most trrifed of. I have never ad one but that does not mean I won't. I've worked through my panic and PTSD and want off ofthis medicine. Someone?
Avatar m tn I am a healthcare professional and can not afford to seek professional help as it may compromise my job. Please let me know if titration is an effective way to come down. My thoughts are to decrease my dose every three days as follows: -Currently taking 4, 10 mg-325 acetaminophen at 5-6 pm and 4 more (same concentration) around bed time.
Avatar f tn 1) If GP agrees to titrate, how soon will the anxiety dissipate? In other words, I want to suggest that we try titration as an experiment for two weeks to see if the anxiety resolves. Is that enough time? 2) In the event GP won't titrate will anxiety eventually resolve? How long does that usually take. I've been back on meds for 4 weeks now. 3) 3 weeks after being increased to 125 mcg I began having extreme difficulty in concentrating.
Avatar m tn What type? What are your thoughts regarding automatic titration vs. setting the titration to a constant setting? Do some people require oral devices in conjunction with CPAP treatment? Thank you for your opinion.
Avatar m tn why because it is longer lasting and can be cut down easier. Now for your decrease thod i suggest water titration. it takes you off im ml by turning the hard pill into a liquid form much easier to theen off in mg. But if you insis on cutting down in pill form here is my SUGGESTION please note that fact. you will have to cut the pill in such small doses to be accurate is gonna be impossible but maybe bearable please you tube water titration.
Avatar n tn I did a fair amount of research prior to my titration and even went so far as to map out my titration schedule on a calendar. My main withdrawal concerns were anxiety, rapid heart beat and insomnia. After a few days of titration when I realized I was not having ANY withdrawal effects I basically stopped "cold turkey." About two weeks, after stopping, I experienced a weird cramping sensation in my hand. Based upon my rigorous physical activity, I assumed I was dehydrated.
666513 tn?1256917455 I have neuropathic pain down my arms, and in my hands and feet. Recently my Doctor gave me a titration pack of Savella to try. Savella is a medication used for the pain associated with Fibromyalgia. I noticed a reduction in the pain, burning and stinging sensation in my feet and hands even at the initial dose after the first few days. I also, bizarrely enough, noticed an improvement in my ability to urinate and empty my bladder.
Avatar m tn Your xPAP pressure can change significantly in a few years, especially if your weight changes. You may need a new titration. Talk to your sleep doctor about your problems.
