Son Is Being Weaned Off Tegretol Posted: 05-20-05 10:59am
I see my son quite often and his eyes are
just glazed and he is tired all the time
at his mothers. It seems he is sick
quite often missing lots of school and
complains of being tired. I am worried
because it seems that my son has totally
changed from a very active and happy boy
into a zombie and everyone just says he is
doing so well.
At the moment I do not recall what
medication he has been put on but I do
know the weaning process has begun -his
doctor and mom are doing that pretty good.
He complains of stomach pain and has
thrown up just a couple days ago. He is
special needs. He also has headaches,
hot flashes (complains of sweating and
being hot), and has gained 40 pounds in
the last year for sure.
I am sort of worried.....As a dad usually
does.
What can I do to help? ...... I do feel
my son's quality of life is not what it
could be.

Weaning is scary, the meds can be as well
since there are so many icky side effects.
I hope that he will do much better on his
new med. What kinds of seizures does he
have?
You might be able to ask that you get
updates from the neuro. They usually send
out a report of clinic visits to me as
well as to our pede and might be willing
to do this for you? Is there any way you
can go with your ex wife to appointment?
