DRUG IS RISPERDAL, NOT RESPIDOL.

I recently went to the doctors and was given the following test:

Test

CBC (inc. diff + plt) [L]

Profile

Comprehensive panel [RB]

Miscellaneous test

Blood C & S with ARD

(To answer my question about the test refer to this link :https://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/index.php?showtopic=60247)

_________________________

On top of giving me the test, I have been prescribe .25 Respidol, every 12 hours... and told by the doctors that I can either take it at home or I will be place in a hospital ( moved from Lansing to Grand Rapids) where they will make sure I'm taking that medication. I told my mom ( I'm 17 years old) that I don't want to take such, and recently I have only been talking about improvements of symptoms I've had. I don't see how one would be force to take medication just because they talk about their health problem and figured out what it is. I do suspect base off the test they may find my health problems or at least be alerted ( to know what health problems I'm talking about, need to see the link) and I will immediately be removed from such medication.

Though just as of now I really do not want to take respidol, I've read nothing but horrible things on the drug. Do I really have to take such medication or be force to take it... isn't that beyond ones own rights? I even try to stay away from tylenol as much as I can, or any medication for colds ( I do experience runny/ stuff nose sometimes etc... but never been sick with a fever since almost forever) etc... ( unless a must vacine), why would one think taking respidol would be okay for me? Just imagening the side effects is enough for me, though I do suspect if my candida was diagnosed I will be given a perscription to dianogse the candida... and most will experience die off side effects, which is okay to experience.

Can I ask why they put you on the medication? Your symptoms and the medication do not go hand in hand. I know the medication very well and yes it is 100% possible that they would/could put you in the hospital to make sure you take it. It's a safety measure. Also depending on what state you live in, you are still a minor meaning that your parents would be the ones making your medical decisions.

I have no ideal either why they would put me on risperdal. Lately the only thing I have been mentioning to my mom is improvement in symptoms since removing yeast, and how I also think I have candida ( even tested positive for spit test) and was able to invade in me being gluten intolerance. I do not want to take such medications, as I've mention I even avoid taking tylenol when I get headaches. I'm not a threat to anyone or myself all I do is mention my symptoms and how I know it's not in my head. I live in Michigan, I'm 17 years old.

So it's possible that they cant force me simply if my mom say ....his health has been getting better, and I feel as well as he that this medication is not needed.

IM NO LONGER LOOKING FOR ANSWERS TOWARDS THIS QUESTION

I have not been taking this drug at all, and after my blood results came back it now seems that I'm no longer being influenced to take it by anyone. I think now they will start looking into my health.

I am glad to hear that they are taking your health issues a bit more seriously. Do you know what the blood test results were? I had not answered previously but when this medication is prescribed for a genuine need for it it can be a big difference. It is not however something that should be given without a doctor being absolutely certain that it is needed IMHO.

Yeah I'm really glad they lifted off that medication, for I don't need any at all. It was all just a really horrible moment, and still shock with the doctors actions. Well there were a few things ( about 4 or 5 ) below or above the normal range. Though basically it was C02 above average ( 32) and white blood cells below normal ( 2.9).... Yeah I know the ranges are not exotic like 1, .5 etc... but this should still aware them of a health issue I have and speak of.

      Oh my goodness medication causing pain !!!!

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many of us with celiac find that the fillers in medications can cause a reaction, and sometimes our bodies just process things weirdly. That "rebound muscle pain" and "burning feet" you described sounds awful and is a huge red flag. It's frustrating enough managing the diet without medication causing setbacks. So sorry you're dealing with this, but you're definitely on the right track by connecting the dots. You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's so tough when you're doing everything right and still get hit with it. I'm glad you're figuring out a system that works for you—the peppermint tea and rehydration powders are smart moves. It sounds like you've really learned to listen to your body, and that's half the battle. Sticking to simple, safe food at home is the best way to build yourself back up. It's great you can take the time to rest properly. Thanks for sharing what works; it's a big help to others figuring this out too. This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's bad enough to fight for a diagnosis and manage this disease, but to have your partner use it as a weapon against you is truly devastating. What you're describing isn't just a lack of support; it's abuse, full stop. Controlling your food and money is cruel, and his pleasure in your misery is chilling. Please hear this: the kindness from that woman at the food pantry is what you deserve. It's a glimpse of the real world, where people care. You deserve to eat, to heal, and to have peace. His actions are the biggest barrier to your health right now, and you are not broken—you are surviving in an impossible situation. Don't give up on that lifeline you've found.

      Thank you.. Christina My anxiety is through the roof.  I think it was from eggs.  I really don't know because my eyes feel sore. Like I'm allergic to them.  I was defient in B12.   My heart is pounding and it won't stop.  Not sure what to do.   I don't have much support other than this forum.    Colleen
