Re: [epilepsy] Re: Taking more than one medication



Hi Tammy,
 
The haldol is supposed to keep him from being aggressive. Autistic people tend to get aggressive sometimes. If too many things are going on at one time (like being around a very large group of people) their brain can not handle all that commotion at once and they have what is called a meltdown. Sometimes he hits me or hits himself.

Hi Theresa,

Pardon my language, but Holy Crap! That is a lot of medication for
one little guy. I thought haldol was used for schizophrenia. Does it
have other uses? One thing your message tells me is that there is
definitely the possibility of tossing a third or even a fourth anti-
seizure med into the mix. Megan has been having more seizures now
than ever. Granted that's only about three or four a month, but she
used to have about one a year!

Take care and my best to your son,
Tammy
