[Guest]

<IMG title="" alt=[Frown] src="frown.gif" border=0> My grandma recived glyburide thanks to a pharmacy screw up. She is NOT diabetic at all, she was suppoed to get a drug for incontenance, so she took the stuff not realizing, because the pharmacy never noticed that she had never had this drug before and never went over the proceedures regarding it, for about a week, then subsiquently fell into two diabeitc type comas and is now apparently brain damaged, its like she has sudden onset dementia, (she was compleatly normal before taking glyburide) within days she was compleatly confused and thought she was still in the 1930's, now she thinks shes in the late fourtys or early fifties. <BR><BR>what i would like to know is if anyone else knows of similar overdose cases, wheather diabetic or not, and if the person has ever recovered. this whole thing happened the last week of august. and i am still in agony and have a huge sence of loss for my grandma, i was robbed, only she's still alive and somewhat well.... the bright side is she's forgotten all the foods she never liked and is eating very well these days! <BR><IMG title="" alt=[Wink] src="wink.gif" border=0> <BR>thanks in advanced.....even if the news is bad. <IMG title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="rolleyes.gif" border=0>
