Yutopar Aka Ritodrine Experiences (Page 9)
(Newest replies first)

Updated

My husband and I have had our daughter, which is now 30, tested for everything and the doctors can't seem to be able to give us a diagnosis, and things are not getting any better. My beautiful daughter has struggled and suffered so much and it breaks my heart to know that the Yutopar that was given to me, affected my baby. My daughter is the one who suffers from it on a daily basis. My second child is normal, and I did not take the drug while carrying him. I would really like to talk to all of you, something needs to be done to care for these kids that are now adults that can not cope. They sleep, eat, are extremely depressed, suicidal thoughts, learning problems, unable to conform to society, lies, bi-polar, anti-social, can't function in everyday life and with everyday problems.We need help. If anyone out there could possible contact me {edited for privacy}.

I'm a female child of a mother who took yutopar, I'm 26 have experienced depression 13-14, anxiety, not really a people person. Been pregnant 3 times, my first was a stillborn my middle is disabled and also a little person(doesn't run in the family ) and developmental delayed. And my youngest stopped growing at 25 weeks and lived for a month. I've had all kinds of women problems and I've always wondered if I wasn't having some sort of issue with my mom being a des baby and the yutopar

Hi there, I am so sorry to hear about your child but your posting shed some light on my daughters issues. My daughter is 25 now and has the same symptoms as your daughter..she has attempted suicide 3 times in 3 years.. and also has 3 children in the same timeframe.. we just couldn't understand why she has these problems until now. the question is what can we do about it?

Hi,
I am currently doing IVF in UK and was prescribed ranitodine (5mg 4 times per day) just after embryo transfer. I have been taking the pills for 4 days and find the side effects just awful which prompted me to do a google search on the drug... and i am now horrified at what i have discovered and completely in shock - why would my ivf clinic put me on such a dangerous drug??! Im so saddened to read about everyones experiences with this drug. Im worried that i may have done some damage to my potentially unborn baby? Any advice would be really appreciated.. can i ask for how long ladies were taking the medication and the strength of the dose? I have taken a total of 80mgs over the 4 days.. Thank you so much

My son is 21 and I took this drug during my pregnancy with him. I have 2 other sons older and younger that don't have the emotional issues that he has. He always seemed withdrawn as a baby and child. He has been diagnosed as Bi-polar, has had suicidal idealations, learning issues etc. Has anyone been able to get any answers about this to see if it is the cause!

Wow that is horrible and I can't believe she was ignored. This drug was horrible and now we have children as well experiencing the side effects.

My sister died from this horrible drug but her baby survived and is now 21. However, he does have eating problems amongst other emotional issues so I would be interested if you do find anyone to take on the case.

Here is a link to the news article about my sister from 1993 -

If you are in this forum by now you know as a parent we are all in the same situation with our kids by taking this drug. Please know we have to stand together and get the word our there and find more parents willing to come forward, there are power in numbers and this is coming from a doctor and lawyer who says they will take this case, the more parents that get on this forum, a lawyer will look into it, as it stands now there is not enough complaints about this drug and the effects it had on our kids, get people you know to go to this forum address, later we will figure out a way to contact each other. Lets fight this for our kids that suffer on a daily basis.

Hi My Name is Tracy and my 23 year old son was diagnosed with mixed Bipolar Disorder and severe Anxiety last year while he was serving our country in the Air Force. He was discharged without any assistance. He has attempted suicide several times and is currently undergoing shock treatments. I am a nurse and when I was 20 weeks pregnant I went into labor with him and they stopped my labor and then sent me home on oral yutopar until 26 weeks. When I heard that is was banned I knew something was not right and I also questioned why he had this horrible mental illness. I also believe the medication caused this since my oldest son is completely normal I did not use this drug with him. I would also be interested in a law suit.
