Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
my son has been on bupropion oxcarbazepine ziprasidone abilify since he was about 12 now he is 25 with no adjustments in his medication. He eats a full meal about every two hours. I am very worried about side effects, heart problems etc. How can I get his doctors to listen to the fact that he needs a change in his medication? Thank you for your help nnnjki
Hi...there are two issues here which you need to understand so that you can explain it to the doctor.
1. A patient who is not having seizures or symptoms with same medication dosage do not require change of medications. This might be your doctor's perception in deciding not to change the medication.
2. A patient's medication is always weight based. In this way you can convince the doctors to change the medication.
