Update on Prevacid wean

[Anonymous]

I don’t know if anyone remembers but we tried to cut out Seth’s PM dose of Prevacid and although he did ok at first, he did start to show some signs of relapse so we added the PM dose back in and dropped the AM dose.

So far, he seems to be doing well. I guess it has been about 3 weeks now? Anyways, the only concern I have is he is not eating breakfast and although he has never been a big breakfast eater, he now always says his tummy is full in the morning and he is not hungry. Do you think this is related to the medicine or am I being paranoid?

Thanks!

Hi Tiffany! I’m not sure, it really could be either one, but good that he’s doing okay in general. I might let it go a bit longer and see what happens, if the not eating breakfast is the only symptom. Alternately, why not only give the PM dose instead of the am, and see how that goes? Good to see you around here! Are you getting ready for school yet?

Hi to you too Lori and thanks for your reponse! Some good news- he did eat breakfat this morning. We went to the store yesterday and he picked out some pop tarts. Not the healthiest thing I know but I was just glad he ate! He also wanted/ate some croutons ! So, we will definitely keep going.

Not sure if I understood the other part of your response about alternating doses- we did try to cut the PM dose first but he was getting hiccups and was uncomfortable during the night so we switched and he seems to do better during the day without them.

Our plan is to stick with the one dose until our rx runs out and then try to cut completely.

Seth is in Pre-K. They start back early August here (too early!)- So far so good! I really need to post some updated pics because he has grown up so much!!

How are your girls?? Hope you all are well. It was great to hear from you!

Tiffany, sorry I misread the details about the wean! I thought that you had dropped the pm and kept the am, not the other way around. Glad to hear that he ate something, and hope that the whole wean goes well too. Hailey starts junior kindergarten next week, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for the best! I also should post pics of the girls- you would never recognize Hailey, she’s grown so much! Good to hear from you.
