[tri-med] Re: Study and kira's recovery (update)

Has any ones child been given Gentamicin, Dilaudid or Ativan?
Gent, the antibiotic could cause c-diff in long periods/high doses.  Dilaudid 
can be problematic especially because our kiddo's don't metabolize drugs as 
well as others so the half-life may be longer, thus cause for o/d.  Ativan 
caused extreme Hyperactivity along with behavioral problems in Haiden.  He also 
had a narcotic (hydrocodone with Tylenol) after T&A with the hopes that it 
would make him groggy and sleep more....NOPE!  It made him hyper.  As far as 
Reglan goes, in my experience the younger population and the geriatric 
population have a tendency for Tardive Dyskenesia or Neuroleptic Malignant 
Syndrome? symptoms while taking this, which could account for Kira's trembling? 
 If you reference Reglan's side effects, you'll see.  A lot of Dr's don't think 
about it because it's used as a GI drug.  I've seen it a lot in our geriatric 
population in the hospital and when it's brought to the Dr's attention, they 
usually dismiss the finding as something else.
