I will talk to the DR monday about getting athe authorization.Hes under my insurance I called the Pharm and rite aid said it was 250.00 for the script. I pay 5-15$ copays for scripts so I thought that was alot But Ill pay if it works ..Danny will be 15 next month getting older hes on 30mg buspar and 3 mg tenex also Inositom ,mag taurate,lecitin,b6,taurine. I was giving him advil 200-400mg for the sore throat seemed ok on it. I did give him some benadryl thursday because I thought the sore throat was allergy rlated .The sore throat is gone He was a little aggitated todayb but not so bad Oh yea hes taking nystatin 3rd day today to make sure hes not building to much yeast from the zithromax.

His rash was not bumpy it was on his chest and on his hands it wasnt itchy I dont think because he wasnt itching it He was very aggitated For the life of me I can't come up with which of those ingredients gave me a bit of concern, especially since Candida Clear is not something that you really stay on long term. I do want to leave this here for others review though. I get concerned when drugs are being used that can be so touchy with variation in absorbtion. This list may not be complete. Read site for more info and disclaimer. http://www.mskcc.org/mskcc/html/11917.cfm 5. Do any botanicals interfere with the metabolism of drugs? To maintain the proper metabolism of certain drugs by cytochrome p450 (a liver enzyme), patients should discontinue use of the following agents. Increased metabolism of a drug reduces its concentration in the blood and may reduce its effectiveness. Decreased metabolism of a drug increases its concentration in the blood and can lead to toxicity or increased side effects. Essiac: A case of decreased clearance (removal from the blood) of an experimental chemotherapy is reported in a single patient taking Essiac. This may be due to inhibition of cytochrome p450 isoenzymes, hindering their ability to metabolize the chemotherapy agent. Garlic: May induce the cytochrome p450 3A4 isoenzyme, resulting in enhanced metabolism (and decreased effectiveness) of certain drugs. Ginkgo: Preliminary evidence suggests that ginkgo can affect the cytochrome enzymes 1A2, 2D6, and 3A4. However, data are controversial regarding whether ginkgo induces or inhibits individual enzymes. Ginseng (Siberian): Inhibits metabolism of certain medications, leading to higher medication levels in the blood, possibly by inhibition of cytochrome p450 2C19. Goldenseal: May inhibit the 3A4 isoenzyme resulting in increased blood levels of certain medications. Milk Thistle: Inhibits cytochrome P-450 3A4. Although no interactions have been reported, inhibition of drug metabolism may occur for several constituents (e.g. ketoconazole, itraconazole, erythromycin, triazolam). St. John's Wort: Induces cytochrome isoenzyme 3A4, enhancing metabolism of certain medications and reducing their concentration in the blood. Turmeric: In vitro studies indicate inhibition of cytochrome P450 1A1, which may result in increased blood levels of certain medications. His rash was not bumpy it was on his chest and on his hands it wasnt itchy I dont think because he wasnt itching it He was very aggitated it lastedabout 2 days I took him to the hyospital I wasnt sure if it was an allergic reaction

melanie replied to guy123's topic in Tourette Syndrome and Tics
No clue what the source is for this page. Sounds kinda hokey. It's possible the kid outgrew TS at the same time he happened to start the medicine. What is Nystatin and how does it supposedly work on TS? I am starting my son on nystatin tonight so Ill let everyone know if its a hoax dannys neuro recomended it yesterday to help with the long term azith hes on He has a virus right now I thought it was strept but test was negitive but who knows his face is broken out too poor kid still his behavior is a little better i hope this gets better and better I also cant say how greatful I am for this site and everyone that comments I cant even say how this helps me and my family -

Strep "carrier" and PANDAS? Is this possible
melanie replied to AmySLP's topic in PANS / PANDAS (Lyme included)
How long after the antibiotics are started do you see some relief from tics or oCD? -
Hi he was dxed when he was about 6 by a psych with motor tics but they were very minor eye blinking ear rubbing no big deal he does have ASD SO SOME OF THE BEHAVIORS ARE FROM THAT anyway I thought the meds may have caused some but hes been off those meds for a while the verbal tics cursing and stuff is about a year and getting worse I think he does get away with some stuff because we werent sure what was what but we went to columbia and the dR said were on the right track with the meds anyway we are going to focus alot on his behaviors hes on Home Instruction yes the middle finger is a tic if its used with a word and yes I know theres a small % of ts patients that do this usuallly it comormid with ASD the Dr at Columbia did say that puberty makes all this worse and that most TS patients end up the way the began Im hoping hes going to get eye tics we were successful with mag any help even just talking helps I am willing to try anything thanks melanie
