DIAZEPAM vs LORAZEPAM

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!

Catatonia isn’t just “not moving” — it’s a life-threatening neuropsychiatric syndrome that can look wildly different depending on the person. Some people freeze up. Others become agitated. Some collapse into seizures. I’ve lived through both extremes — and I’m sharing this to raise awareness for any

Every person I know who has bp and people I see online all have similar experiences with going cold turkey and being on and off their meds. I don't know why I personally struggle, I take my meds for months and then one day just stop, and yeah, it makes me feel like shit. Even right now I am in a low

I know you guys are working really hard, and it's been a shitty month for all of us, but it feels like you forgot about all of your effects except for the side ones. Like the ones where you maybe stop me from writing a novel for 35 hours straight and getting fired, or maybe throw me a rope when I si

My husband recently went to the psych ward and was diagnosed with unidentified psychotic disorder and catatonia. He was in the hospital a total of 46 days. He thinks the hospital was divine intervention and he taught the psychiatrist all the ideas on how to contain him and now they practice his idea

My psychiatrist just prescribed me Lamotrigine, He started me at a low dose 25mg before bed. I've never taken this medicine before and I don't know what to expect. How long will it take for me to feel better after taking it? What are the side effects? Currently I'm taking Lithium 200mg ×2 Lorazepa

Since when lorazepam kills delusions? I don't know what to google or what this means. If it's not dopamine, then it's not psychiatric? Could be neurological? I sure as hell have been having neurological symptoms, like my head (painlessly, so not dystonia) twisting to the right, memory loss, weird sm

Hello, I was diagnosed with schizophrenia in 2017, when I was 21 years old. I went through an active psychotic episode that lasted for about two years, which eventually led to an inpatient stay in a closed psychiatric ward. That happened after a suicide attempt — I had taken my father’s gun and inte
