Hi! The prescription my pharmacy sent me is compounded at 1 mg per
0.2 ml. Quantity is 24 ml, therefore I have 120 mg in the bottle.
(Right?) Total cost was $30.00 (not including shipping). Tigger's
dose is 0.2 ml twice a day. Pricewise, it's costing me $0.25 per
dose... Ughh, math.
So far, Tigger is still groggy but seems to be coming around slowly.
He walks around the room for a little while but I don't think his
little body (2 pounds 10 ounces) has adjusted yet. We started the
pheno on Saturday morning so I'm hoping that we're not through the
adjustment period yet. I'm happy to report though, he has not had a
seizure since Saturday morning! He *was* having somewhere around 10
a day! Unfortunately, he is still not eating kibble or drinking
water on his own but hey, baby steps, right? :)
Thank you to everyone who has posted on the list and also those who
have emailed me privately (I think I got back to you privately
also). If we can get this under control and get a sense of normalcy
back in my house, this will be my happiest holiday season yet!
Sincerely,
Erin
