[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 332073, member: 1233"] Good to know about this. Wiz had several foods he gagged on as a child. It was mostly the SIDS or asthma starting coughing fits as he was eating. Two years ago when I had the seizures because I couldn't keep my lyrica down and ended up in the hospital for 5 days they used haldol and valium. For the last 2 days they only used the haldol. It didn't change the way I felt or acted, but often I need huge doses of medications to get any effects, intended or side. Or else I need about 1/8th the dose other people use. Trouble swallowing stinks. The two spinal surgeries were done from the front of my neck so they had to move my esophagus around to get behind it. I have times when I cannot swallow anything. Even liquids. They either go down the wrong pipe or cannot go anywhere no matter what. It can be very scary because I often wake up feeling like I am drowning because a bit of mucus tried to go down my throat. I hope the swallowing trouble goes away ASAP. The older APs are really not as bad as they sound. Not to say we should scrap the new ones and only use the old ones, but we really have very little info on how the newer APs impact us as we become older. Or how our bodies react if we are on the newer ones for a couple of decades. The side effects of the older APs are known. Well studied, well defined, and they have been used long enough to have data on how our bodies change as we spend decades on these medications. Regardless, we LOVED risperdal. Not so much the others, but risperdal was awesome for Wiz. [/QUOTE]
