renorenal SG

Epileptic drugs are highly toxic, yes... the blood need to be monitored from time to time as the patient takes the medication to ensure that it does not crossover to the toxic range...

Example: Phenytoin, Carbamazepine, Na Valproate (Epilim), Vigabatrine, Lamotrigine, Gabapentin, Phenobarbital & Benzodiazepines.

Yes, your sedative-hypnotics are tranquilizers... such as Xanax and Valium.

renorenal SG

Barbiturate has been widely substituted over by Benzodiazepines which is safer, non-toxic even though in high doses and easily reversible with a drug called Flumazenil.

Yes...many of this class of benzodiazepines have strong amnesic effect, at least on certain people. Midazolam (Dormicum) also has similar effects. It is great for endoscopy cos' the patient is not under GA but does not remember a thing after the procedure. I myself had undergone endoscopy a few times and each time I refused to do it without IV Dormicum. Having seen my patients gag and tear during endoscopy, this is the way to go if you need a scope...

However, criminals have used these drugs for date rapes. The victim is semi-conscious and able to mount a response during the rape but after the event cannot remember what had happened and so is useless in court. Some sick people like their victims to be able to struggle etc during the rape.

renorenal SG

I can't really recall, but do they have anterograde amnesia as a major component compared to retrograde amnesia in this case once they take the medications?

oxford mushroom SG

The amnesia is restricted to the period during which the drug was active. No obvious long-term amnesic effect although if I forget things nowadays I can blame it on Dormicum Smile

renorenal SG

Hmmm... I see...

Anterograde is worst than retrograde if I am not wrong... coz anterograde hampers the ability to learn new things, whereas retrograde doesn't...

rainee SG

I come here to pay a little visit Cool

renorenal SG

Hi! Mr. Green

alfagal SG

So its true when pple say if u go under GA too many times it can affect ur memory?

renorenal SG

It's a minor complication... and yes it can affect one's memory... Wink

rainee SG

By the way, how far can a plastic surgery go? I know it can alter face and stuff like dat, but what about disfigured body? And like if someone has breast cancer and her breast is totally gone from the operation, then can they put it back? Shocked

renorenal SG

I can't answer the first question... but yes, it's called the b.reast reconstruction surgery, where they make full use of silicons. Some older women prefer not to go for that surgery because of the expenses especially after total mastectomy. Wink

They can't put the diseased b.reast back if that is what you mean...
