My daughter had her first siezure after having her first vaccine and had them for a few years after. After seeing doctors in New Jersey we were sent to a Dr. Rappin at The Albert Einstein Hospital in New York. She was wonderful but did prescribe phenobarbital and Dilatin. My daughter was some what out of it most of the time but was seizure free. When she became a teenager she took herself off of it without me knowing it because she was tired of the way she felt, out of it. Luckily no siezures took place but in later years she developed what I thought was a tick at first that later led to psychosis and Schizophrenia.
ReplyDeleteShe again is on medication after five stays in the psychiatric ward. She is now taking Resperdol 2 milligrams. It's been a nightmare. I feel that certain children are allergic to somthing in the vaccines and some are not. Children should be tested for allergies to each vaccine before they are administered. Unfortunately parents are naive and don't know that they can question the doctor. In this article it did mention a link between phenobarbitol and schizophrenia. How can I find more about this and how can I help?
