FUCKING NEBULIZER

The meds made him all sorts of hyper. It is almost 9 and he is wide awake and going crazy. What am I gonna do? I am having a nervous breakdown.

That's pretty common. Is it Albuterol? You can ask to try Xopenex instead. They did something to it on a molecular level to make people more comfortable when they take it. My heart races on Albuterol, but I'm much more comfortable on Xopenex.

[CloudBee]

And, I'm sorry.

[undecidedowl]

Ditto CloudBee about trying Xopenex. I feel much better on it than Albuterol.

Luckily, the jitters and craziness don't usually last too long, usually less than an hour for the worst of it for me. Hopefully that is the case for you guys and he can settle down soon.

So sorry! We give dd Xopenex and even that keeps her up. Hopefully he'll settle down soon.

[littlemisschatty]

We are using Xoponex! (sob)

This blows

[littlemisschatty]

Question! will he get back to his old schedule after this is over? Or do I need to sleep train for the 47th time? I swear I hate my life.

[illgetthere]

I would try to move up the time that you do it. We never do S's after 7 because he is a crazy man for at least an hour after it (he gets Pulmicort and sometimes Albuterol in it). He has an 830 bedtime, and he goes down no matter what (within reason). I don't know about the schedule question since he gets his twice a day for pretty much ever.
