26, female, white, 4ft 10in, ~80-90 pounds, Tuberous Sclerosis, nonverbal, seizures. My sister ^ has not been sleeping the last few weeks. Originally thought it was due to increase in CBD oil (3.5ml to 5 twice per day). Cut the CBD completely. Still was not sleeping. Started to add CBD back at 3.5m
Hello Doctors and aspiring Doctors! I need help, and I apologize because this will probably be all over the place and include some irrelevant information since I don’t know what’s relevant or not, so I’ll just be spewing everything out. My daughter is 2 years and 3 months old and she weigh 23lb-24l
We have a patient who we've compounded clobazam 1mg/mL suspension for for years and years. It's just crushed clobazam tablets in 1:1 Ora-Plus and Ora-Sweet. We compound 1 month's worth at a time. On file, it says "Expiry: 30 days" but I'm questioning where this comes from. Does anyone have any refer
Back pain on the middle-lower left side. Does not get better with exercise (weight training). Has been going on for about 2 to 3 years. Sometimes better, sometimes worse, but always gets worse with PMS and period symptoms. Meds consumed currently: (I also have bipolar disorder type 2) - divalproex s
Hi everyone, 24M here (79 KG, 5'10") from India. I’ve been living with epilepsy since 2016 and have been on various medications over the years. However, recently I’ve been dealing with some troubling symptoms after withdrawing from my epilepsy medications, and I’m looking for advice or similar exper

I’m a tech at cvs. I’m familiar with processing regular TARs, for adults. I’m off today and no other tech on the team understands how to do TARs. Now, SARs for kids, on the other hand, if it’s anything close to TARs, I think I can manage. The SAR in question is for clobazam. My question is, is ther
I have epilepsy, and take Lamotrigine / Sertraline and Clobazam (Clobazam as required). The rash appears to have grown by 75% in the last 24 hours. The rash on the front seems to be directly in front of the area of most pain on my back - which feels like it’s focussed around my shoulder blade. Ca

I stopped at a Mexican pharmacy while on vacation and was shown a laminated paper that I assume is meant to advertise and list prices for drugs that Americans commonly want to purchase in Mexico. It was mostly C4s and below (or above in numbers rather). I didn’t recognize redotex and asked to see th
The following happened in europe. Today at 8:30 a young man came into the pharmacy and demanded a bottle of Diazepam drops from my coworker. She told him he needs a prescription for that and that she can't sell it without. He begins to talk louder and says he wants only 1 bottle and so on and so f
I used to love my job. As a pharmacist at an Albertsons store, I had it all. A manageable workload, great pay at $75 an hour, and the satisfaction of knowing I was making a difference in my community. I filled about 50 to 60 prescriptions a day, enough to keep me busy but not overwhelmed. Life was g
I know a patient who takes both Xanax and Diazepam together. Both were prescribed by the same doctor but one is taken at bedtime and the other as needed during the day. I have never seen that and was worried about the duplicate therapy but apparently they have been on both for months now. The other
In another sub, many people were arguing about the problems of getting hold of alcohol (as in drinking liquor) and some said that they would get withdrawal symptoms. One person who seems to have some knowledge of medicine really went overboard with the horror stories. I told him that in my country p
This must be a very trivial question but since English is not my first language I have to ask because for me the meaning is ambiguous. I have read this a couple of times now where it says in a formulation (e.g.:http://www.pharminfotech.co.nz/manual/Formulation/mixtures/diazepam.html) "Water to 100mL
Got a phone call today which basically went like this. Me: Such-and-such Pharmacy this is %67%, how can I help you? Junkie(?): My girlfriend got a prescription from you guys about twenty minutes ago and there was a problem with it. Me: Okay what was your girlfriend's name so I can look up her dispen
RN here. As I understand it, both are dissolved in propylene glycol. Why does our unit store lorazepam in the fridge but diazepam is in the pyxis? Thanks!
