The norvasc and klonopin are smaller, or can be crushed. The diovan may be in a wax matrix and I'm not sure about that one.

Your seizure med is the most important. They'll either place a feeding tube temporarily to give it to you, or give you another IV version to make certain that you won't seize. Make certain everyone is aware of this medication...they'll figure it out...it's a bigee and won't be missed.

The high blood pressure meds can be covered by other medications given other ways. And...once again, high blood pressure that is not severely high or sustained is "safe" within certain limits. This is usually more of a longterm health issue, rather than an acute or emergent issue like keeping your seizures controlled.

Either way, this will get figured out by the hospital staff.

Good luck,

Bill
