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

Catatonia isn’t just “not moving” — it’s a life-threatening neuropsychiatric syndrome that can look wildly different depending on the person. Some people freeze up. Others become agitated. Some collapse into seizures. I’ve lived through both extremes — and I’m sharing this to raise awareness for any
Every person I know who has bp and people I see online all have similar experiences with going cold turkey and being on and off their meds. I don't know why I personally struggle, I take my meds for months and then one day just stop, and yeah, it makes me feel like shit. Even right now I am in a low
I know you guys are working really hard, and it's been a shitty month for all of us, but it feels like you forgot about all of your effects except for the side ones. Like the ones where you maybe stop me from writing a novel for 35 hours straight and getting fired, or maybe throw me a rope when I si
My husband recently went to the psych ward and was diagnosed with unidentified psychotic disorder and catatonia. He was in the hospital a total of 46 days. He thinks the hospital was divine intervention and he taught the psychiatrist all the ideas on how to contain him and now they practice his idea
My psychiatrist just prescribed me Lamotrigine, He started me at a low dose 25mg before bed. I've never taken this medicine before and I don't know what to expect. How long will it take for me to feel better after taking it? What are the side effects? Currently I'm taking Lithium 200mg ×2 Lorazepa
Since when lorazepam kills delusions? I don't know what to google or what this means. If it's not dopamine, then it's not psychiatric? Could be neurological? I sure as hell have been having neurological symptoms, like my head (painlessly, so not dystonia) twisting to the right, memory loss, weird sm
Hello, I was diagnosed with schizophrenia in 2017, when I was 21 years old. I went through an active psychotic episode that lasted for about two years, which eventually led to an inpatient stay in a closed psychiatric ward. That happened after a suicide attempt — I had taken my father’s gun and inte
