Question 1

is flumazenil available orally? and what is the drug similar to flumazenil?

Accepted Answer

: Because this drug is used to reverse the effects of a benzodiazepine and people who need this reversal effect are most likely unconscious so oral medication can't be used due to high risk of aspiration. By Drugbank online, flumazenil is the only available benzodiazepine antagonist.

Question 2

what is flumazenil (clonazepam) detox?

Accepted Answer

Risky detox tool: Flumazanil is currently not recommended to treat chronic benzodiazepines by the American College of Medical Toxicology.  There is a very real risk that rapid reversal of benzodiazepines can lead to refractory seizures only treatable with barbiturates as flumazanil binds to GABA receptors with greater affinity, which could lead to unopposed glutamate stimulation.  Benzodiazepine tapers are better

Question 3

what doctor in las vegas uses flumazenil (clonazepam)?

Accepted Answer

Sleep medicine doc: Flumazenil (clonazepam) can help when people have overdosed on benzodiazepines, and it has also been used in excessive daytime sleepiness.  You might look for a sleep medicine physician.  However, you cannot dictate the medicines the physician will give you.  That would be decided after a thorough evaluation of whatever problem you're experiencing.  Check with http://www.Aasmnet.Org/ or http://www.Absm.Org/.

Accepted Answer

So call your doc: This is the HT public information site.We are thousands of volunteer docs based primarily in the US who answer medical questions.We do not offer treatments. State medical boards require a physician/patient relationship,a retrievable record,recent exam with vital signs for prescribing.Failure to do so can lead to loss or restriction of license. It may seem minor to you but it is not.

Question 7

need advice on asthma medication ?

Accepted Answer

Many types...: Bronchodilators such as albuterol (Ventolin) or levalbuterol (Xopenex) enlarge the diameter of the airways to help air flow and mucus come out of the lungs. Patients with cough-variant asthma, exercise-induced asthma, or regular asthma also use steroid inhalers (such as Flovent) to reduce swelling, mucus, and "sensitivity" in the airways. Singulair is an another medication that can be used.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Approaching: depression wi multiple modalities is best. There are many
things you can do for depression.  Don't isolate. Spend time w people. Use your support system. Get out. Don’t stagnate at home. Work to get 8 hours or &gt; of sleep per night &amp; eat healthfully.

Question 9

are ther new medications forms on the horizon?

Accepted Answer

Several: Now that we have studies showing that long-term benefits for interferons and Copaxone are likely minimal at best, and that 60% of pts do not do well by 2 yrs, we are starting to see the emergence of far more potent meds.  Gilenya and tysabri (natalizumab) are here.  Tecfedera is close, lemtrada by end of year.  Daclizumab, ocrelizumab, the newer s-1-p drugs being looked at.  Even new drug for spasticity.
