CLONAZEPAM vs DIAZEPAM

Hi everyone, Hope you’re doing okay, or better. This week it’s been 4 years since my first manic episode. Since then, I haven’t relapsed. I’ll try to keep this short, but it will probably be a bit longer since I want to write everything that I would have wanted to read 4 years ago. **Here we go:** M

I’m a 33 year old female and have been diagnosed for 5 years now. I spent countless days, even years, trying to figure out what was wrong with me. I would be on google nearly every day asking questions and just thought I had bad anxiety along with my PTSD and ADHD. My head has been off since I was a

“I’m bipolar.” “I’m bipolar type 1” “I have bipolar disorder.” “I have bipolar disorder type 1.” “I have bipolar illness.” All those statements were attempts to describe myself after my diagnosis, Bipolar illness, at the ripe age of 25. The following years were defined by this list (this is not an

I just wanted somewhere to celebrate how good I'm FINALLY doing. I've been in and out of the hospital for three years now for reckless behaviour and all of the mania, and I knew that you guys would appreciate this. After 6 months of not being employed because my doctor said I just couldn't work, I'v

I hope you can understand me, since English is not my first language. So a few days ago I restarted my medication after like years of The Misery™, you know folks, being in a shitty state all day, drinking heavily and doing clonazepam to get away from the pain, losing all interest in things I used to

For context, I’m bipolar one, and had a gnarly manic and psychotic episode when I was 19 which got me hospitalized for two weeks. That’s when I got my diagnosis, and I’m now 23. I’ve now been through boatloads of therapy, have a very comfy and stable home situation, a therapist and psychiatrist I tr

I have tried Quetiapine, Olanzapine, Fluoxetine… I’m fucking done with the side effects, I gained so much weight was hungry all the time and no desire on anything like numb/zombie all the time. I’m now on 350 Venlafaxine and just quit Olanzapine and was prescribed Clonazepam 2mg and Ambien 10mg, whi

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!
