Discussions tagged “Diazepam 20mg Rectal Gel”

I've recently learned about Diazepam 20mg Rectal Gel as a treatment for seizure clusters. My child's neurologist mentioned it as a potential option, and I'm trying to gather more information. The idea of administering a medication rectally is a bit daunting, but I understand it's effective for quickly stopping seizures. Has anyone else used this medication? I'd love to hear about your experiences, any tips for administration, and how well it worked. Also, are the side effects as scary as they sound in the literature? I'm particularly worried about the risk of suicidal thoughts. Does anyone have insights on managing these potential side effects?
