The doc has prescribed Reactine (the insert with the script says Cyproheptadine). It’s supposed to stimulate her appetite to help overcome any food aversion – if that is what we are dealing with- i think we are dealing with the acid again. I don’t think it’s really food aversion, but he’s gonna give her 2 days to try it and if we don’t see results by Thursday morning we’ll go back on the prevacid.
so, i go to the pharamist to pick up the script and she won’t give it to me. she says they usually don’t give this drug to kids under 2 and she wants to verify with the doc to be sure this is the drug he intended to call in. i mean i appricate her looking out but it’s 530pm – no way is someone from the doc office gonna call her back until tomorrow and i’m thinking we can’t go another day with her not eating much. long story, short – i give her the doc’s private cell number and she calls and confirms with him and i get the med. but i talked to her about her concerns and she says the side effects can be trouble breathing and seizures – SUPER! i’m thinking Reglan all over again!!!
anyway, after all that, we get home and give Lilly the med and w/in 1 minute she throws up. so not knowing how much she kept down we didn’t repeat the dose. oh well, guess we’ll try tomorrow.
anyone heard of Reactine?
