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!

I am a 28 year old man and I've just realized that nothing interests me. I believe that it might be connected to depression as I am on medication for depression and anxiety (duloxetine) I am not really sad or anything. I am just very neutral. Things that used to interest, excite me and make me happ
I have been recovering from over a decade of major depressive disorder and recently diagnosed bipolar II. I’m seeing light at the end of the tunnel with Lamotrigine and lifestyle changes, and after several mental health evaluations, my psychiatrist gave me the best news ever; I can stop taking antid
Hi, just wondering if this is a common experience: So i've been taking agomelatine 50mg for about 5 months and duloxetine 60mg for 3 months now for severe depression and anxiety. The antidepressants have been working just as intended in the sense that most of the mental agony has gone, but there's
I ( M23) have been taking duloxetine 60 mg for 2 years now. While it has helped tremendously with my anxiety/depression/DPDR, it did cause sexual side effects for me. (I also take lamotrigine, but that is unlikely to cause effects like this) For me, these sides were very annoying; my main problem wa
Entry time 8:55am Before I went to sleep last night, I had nurses come 2 times, around 9:30pm and then at 10:40pm asking if I wanted to take some anxiety medication to help me sleep better. I refused both times as it wasn't initially prescribed, and in general I don't have a problem sleeping. My al
UHC is canceling coverage of my medication: Lamotrigine, Atomoxetine, and Duloxetine. Starts in January. Im barely getting by as it is. I need to find new insurance asap (Im in the USA). Its no wonder they were targeted. I just learned that they deny the most coverage of any US health insurer. Wtf a
Since the late of 2019 year, till now I've tried: 1- Escitalopram "Lexapro" (tried Atomoxetine "Strattera" with it, then stopped it due to its bad effects) (tried Risperidone "Rispardal" then stopped it, it hasn't only bad effects, but also highly increased prolactin) 2- Fluoxetine "Prozac" 3- Bupro
You know how a lot of sources say working towards a goal and then achieving it gives a sense of reward via dopamine? This week I got a pay rise, achieved a fitness goal I've been working towards for months and even got asked out on a date by someone quite attractive. But I feel absolutely nothing.
