If you are physically active, you will be less likely to develop depression. If you are already depressed, then physical exercise can help. So if you don't already exercise regularly, try it! Regularly means at least 30 minutes three times per week. Children with diarrhea and vomiting are often given products like Pedialyte solution to help avoid dehydration and improving bowel symptoms. This works very well. But you don't have Pedialyte in the house, Gatoradethe sports drink, also can be useful. Its contents can help replace important electrolytes that are lost in vomiting and diarrhea. When reviewing your medication with your doctor, be sure to mention all medications taken, even those that are non-prescription medications. For example, some people take Gravol for sleep. This drug has many side effects some of which can mimic dementia symptoms. So be sure to make your doctor aware of ALL the medications you take. This includes herbal products as well. How time flies! Valium, the second anti anxiety drug of the benzodiazepine class, was released in 1963. Its use mushroomed in the sixties but is seldom prescribed today. There are many children and grandchildren of this drug on the market that are more commonly prescribed. Huron Apothecary Ltd.
