LORAZEPAM vs MIDAZOLAM

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.

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

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
