Cyndi, You wrote: the "combination" of drugs she is on. Only one on the list is unfamiliar to me: Dilaudid (sp?), keflex, mepergan, atavan, and ibuprofen. ' This is strange. Dilaudid is a narcotic analgesic - "a hydrogenated ketone of morphine" but merpergan is a combination of demerol, a narcotic analgesic with actions similar to morphine and promethazine HCl - phenergan - which Tom Hale says is for nausea & motion sickness and sedation. And the PDR says an antihistaminic. Ativan [lorazepam from the valium family - Hale] is also a sedative. Why is she on TWO narcotics??!! And a sedative? Demerol is the drug that half the babies in the self-attachment video are exposed to. It interferes with a baby's state - a newborn may not become fully alert after exposure to it. I have a paper from the early 90s which says that if a mother has been given demerol during a c-section and afterward for pain control, the baby has a double whammy, first from before it is born and then from the amount in the breastmilk. The merpergan and the ativan can cause sedation in the infant as well as respiratory depression, & merpergan, agitation.
