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.

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

6 years ago I broke my knee playing rugby. I was 33. I had a fair bit of metal put in and lots and lots of rehab. 2 years on crutches and over 4 years of physio. Nothing helped the pain and they removed the metal, which also didn’t help. I had a nerve block injection and was told it may stop the pai

25F just recently diagnosed so I went to the pharmacy to pick up pregabalin prescribed by my rheumatologist. Of course I hadn’t taken it before so I asked the pharmacist to go over it with me.

Title says all. I was recently diagnosed with fibro after testing negative for other autoimmune and muscle diseases. However I seem to have a unique version where I experience 24/7 muscle stiffness and inflammation. Being a little risqué, it feels like I'm tightly wrapped up in BDSM-type rope all ov
I started with 1.5mg and slowly worked my way to 4.5mg, going up 0.5mg at a time. Since the very first dose, I noticed a decrease in pain. With every single dose increase, the pain relief got better and better. When I hit 3.5mg, I had ZERO pain the next day during my 8 hours of work. That’s right -
Just a vent post really. Why is every single medical appointment such a fucking fight every time to advocate for myself and be heard??? Like even with pain management doctors who are supposed to want to help people like me. I literally asked about pregabalin because we haven’t really tried many me
