CLONAZEPAM vs MIDAZOLAM

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 just wanted somewhere to celebrate how good I'm FINALLY doing.

After 6 months of not being employed because my doctor said I just couldn't work, I'v

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.

If a patient has a high CK level from TCs caused by Primary General Epilepsy, have you seen whether Voltoco is more effective than Nayzilam for an abortive med in either reducing full blown status or reducing the likelihood of rhabdomyolysis given Voltoco is a muscle relaxant?

"More specifically, the investigation revealed that during his shift at Medical Center, Respondent locked himself in the pharmacy’s bathroom and injected Midazolam. As a result, Respondent was slurring his words, stumbling, and had blood dripping from the injection cite on his arm. Respondent’s co-w

I’m an EMS manager, and my supply guy tells me that we can no longer get midazolam in a preservative free formulation. He was under the impression that if it a medication contains preservatives we can’t give it IM, but I haven’t been able to find anything about this one way or the other (aside from

First, I need to apologize as this post will be pretty long. So I know this probably isn't the best place to ask for advice, since practice will invariably depend on where you are, but I thought I'd gather some opinions anyway.   I'm the sole pharmacist at our small hospital (managers are n
