I suppose the term used by the hospital I interned at of "High Alert Drug" is a bit more professional, but I'm curious which drugs you place on your list, in my never ending quest to learn new stuff/refresh my memory/sharpen that sword... Unofficial Reddit CE style (sorry no credit here). Which drug

On r/Residency there was recently a thread about the IM resident who poisoned his wife with colchicine. Some of the comments spoke about how colchicine is a terrible medication, how they would never prescribe it, and how toxicology docs would never use it. This has me a bit worried because my 12 ye

Going to a small get-together for new years, and the poison ring I bought myself came in JUST in time! Cant wait to discreetly take my mid-party naproxen without having to fish through my purse! Happy new year everyone, may 2026 hurt less than 2025 🥳

I have so much wrong with me. Like it’s genuinely whole body at this point. Back pain, internal tremors, migraines, stomach issues, fatigue, heart palpitations, dysautonomia, rib pain, brain fog, vertigo, muscle inflammation, hands aching, pain that covers my whole body, knees hurting. I could keep

I'm hypermobile and fat and this has caused me to develop osteoarthritis in my hip, normal NSAIDs don't work on me and I'm allergic to naproxen. I'm scared of becoming addicted to opioids because they seem to be the only thing that helps but I've already gotten 2 prescriptions of them and I'm curren

This is more of a rant I guess. I've been struggling with pain for over a decade now, and no matter how bad it gets, I'm given naproxen or acetaminophen. Naproxen doesn't work for me, and it requires high doses of acetaminophen for me to get a small amount of relief. But they are still the only pai

Had a flare up today and usually when this happens I can’t walk.

So when I was finally mobile eno

I asked for 500mg naproxen and was given a muscle relaxer to take 3 times a day i’m up to at least 12 pills a

Hey everyone! I’ve been seeing a lot of posts lately in this sub and in others about people asking for little things that help manage the pain, so I thought I’d compile a list of stuff that helps me and others can tack on what helps them in the comments. I hope someone finds this useful! - **Prescri
