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

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

Today my boyfriend of a year told me he doesn’t think I should be taking my opioid pain medication any longer. I have had chronic pain for 18 years, have tried every single thing I could think of, that was recommended to me, have had multiple surgeries, and ended up with CRPS in my right hip/thigh.
I'm going to share my story and what I've found does work and doesn't work for me. Feel free to ask questions. And feel free to comment with your own journey. I was diagnosed at 23. I went to Disney world and on the second day I woke up and couldn't walk. I was in so much pain. My legs and feet wer
