Our little drunk sailor

I spoke with Dr. Katherman on Friday December 18 about Brady's continued wobbliness and unsteadiness. The ataxia that he was experiencing can be a side affect of both Potassium Bromide and Zonisamide, but the hope is that this side affect will subside with time. The definition of ataxia is loss of coordination of the muscles. Her advice was to divide his Potassium Bromide (600mg) dose into three 200mg doses per day instead of giving him 600mg all at once. In order to do this I would have to change him over to the liquid form since he was on one 600mg capsule that couldn't be split. As it turns out the liquid form is less expensive than the capsule form. Either way, Potassium Bromide has to be compounded by a compounding pharmacy. Not all pharmacies compound, something I was not aware of before.
