Katrina,
I am new to the EP world and don't have it myself but, my almost
2 year old daughter does so, I can't speak from experience but, I
would like to suggest that you call the drug company and ask. I am
frequently on the phone with the makers of Julia's medications. I
hope things get better soon.
