Title: Meds Laura-Lili
Post by Lili on Mar 6^th, 2005, 2:19am

I am giving a list of the meds he gave me, but in a way I am hesitant. It is so that they discovered that there’s something wrong in my brain. Now this could / could not be the same for the next person, so these medicines – God I hate to think I sound audacious – have been prescribed after whatever results came up in the tests done on me. This is the list of meds. The bold name is the name on the bottle. I phoned the Pharmacist and he gave me the name next to it, then I went to the net to find the description. Some are what we already know like Lithium & Imigran.

Topamax, 25mg, one at night: TOPIRAMATE (Topamax®) is effective in helping to control seizures (convulsions) in adults or children with various forms of epilepsy. Topiramate may also be prescribed for other conditions, such as prevention of migraine headaches. Generic topiramate tablets or sprinkle-capsules are not yet available.

Thaden, dothiepin 25mg, two at night: Each THADEN (TM) - 25 capsule contains 25 mg dothiepin hydrochloride PHARMACOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION: A 1.2 Psychoanaleptics (antidepressants) PHARMACOLOGICAL ACTION: Thaden (dothiepin hydrochloride) is a tricyclic antidepressant. INDICATIONS: For the treatment of depression in adults.

Camcolit, lithium carb 400mg, one tablet daily for three days then one tablet twice daily - so the 3 days are over, I must take one tablet twice a day. LITHIUM (Eskalith®, Lithonate®, Lithane®, Lithotabs®) helps to control extreme mood swings in manic-depressive illness. Lithium helps you to maintain a more balanced state, without swinging from a highly elated, over-excited state to that of being very sad and depressed. Lithium can prevent or reduce these episodes. Generic lithium tablets or capsules are available.

Relisan nabumetone 500mg, Two tablets twice a day for five days, then take two tablets at night, I started Tuesday, so until Saterday I must take it twice a day and from Sunday, two tablets at night. NABUMETONE (Relafen®) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It helps relieve pain and inflammation associated with rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. Generic nabumetone tablets are available.

Lamictin, lamopeigine 25mg, take two tablets twice a day. LAMOTRIGINE (Lamictal®) is effective in helping to control partial seizures (convulsions) in adults and children with epilepsy. Lamotrigine is also used in adults and children who have generalized (major) seizures (convulsions) due to a special condition named Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. Lamotrigine is usually prescribed with other medications that also help to control the convulsions, although sometimes lamotrigine may be used by itself. Generic lamotrigine tablets are not yet available.

Imigran - only when I have a cluster headache attack. You all know

Synap Forte only when I have pain2 tablets every 6 - 8 hours. Painkillers

Lots of Love!
