Question 2

what are some side effects of estazolam (prosom)?

Accepted Answer

Sleepy: Sleepy, dizzy, drunk sensation or clumsiness, amnesia are the most common side effects.

Question 3

which of these two is better for sleep without grogginess: chalcion / prosom (estazolam)?

Accepted Answer

Benzodiazepine : Unfortunately, the risk of grogginess is essentially the same with either drug as they are both benzodiazepines. In my clinical experience, it is very difficult to predict which patient will have grogginess or not as we all metabolize drugs differently.

Question 4

why do sleep aides ambien, lunesta, (eszopiclone) prosom work?

Accepted Answer

They slow: The activity of the brain which promotes sleep.

Question 5

ambien, prosom, restoril, and lunesta (eszopiclone) don't work for me. what sleeping pills could i take that would work?

Accepted Answer

Consider evaluation: The key to treating insomnia is finding the underlying cause. Some patients have insomnia because they are born with it but most patients have insomnia secondary to another medical issue. Commonly this includes anxiety/depression but medical issues such as pain and reflux can keep people awake at night. Biofeedback  may be superior to pills. Consider an evaluation by a sleep specialist.

Question 6

why do sleep aides (benadryl, ambien, sonata (zaleplon) ,lunesta, prosom, elavil) not work for me?

Accepted Answer

Different: Everyone is different.  It also depends upon why you are having difficulty with sleep.  If you suffer insomnia talk to your doctor about this.  There are many medications that can be used for  this disorder.

Question 7

can a parents allergies be passed on to their children?

Accepted Answer

Not Exactly: What is passed genetically from parent to child is the propensity to develop atopy (such as eczema, asthma, allergic rhinitis, food allergies) but usually not sensitization to specific allergens which the parent is allergic to.  The exception, which is a controversial topic, is drug allergies, but this is usually dependent on metabolism of the drug which is inherited rather than the allergy.

Question 8

does a cough come with allergies in children?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes: But not all the time. Nasal allergies are not a frequent cause of a really bad persistent cough. In a child with allergies and a really bad cough (assuming no fever) I would be concerned about a reactive airway/asthma type condition. If the child also had eczema I would be even more concerned.

Question 9

can a parents' allergies to various foods be passed on to their children?

Accepted Answer

No: The condition of being allergic is certainly an inherited property.  Often, that tendancy is greater in children whose biological mother has allergies.  However, specific allergy is generally not thought to be inherited.  That is, a parent can be allergic to food, and their children allergic to pollen or insect stings.

Question 10

please describe a good source of calcium for children that have a milk allergy ?

Accepted Answer

Lots of Stiuff: Fortified soy milk for beginners.  Dark leafy greens like spinach, kale, turnips, and collard greens. Fortified orange juice. Sardines. Enriched breads, grains, and waffles.
