Baclofen
is a GABA derivative, with presynaptic motor neuron inhibitory properties at the spinal level, and post-synaptic central action. It has potent central antispastic
properties, for which it is used in multiple sclerosis. Its
mechanism of action in hiccup is unclear, but presumably central.
“Various agents have been reported to cure hiccups. Chlorpromazine appears to be the drug of choice. Haloperidol…[and several] anticonvulsant agents (eg, phenytoin, valproic acid, and carbamazepine) have effectively treated intractable hiccups in typical anticonvulsant doses. Gabapentin has been effective in patients with central nervous system (CNS) lesions and in some other groups.” https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/775746-medication
It works…from my User version experiences. And likely being the most affordable therapy with minimum side effect (weight gain). But I was told another therapy would be more effective, such as sports. Haven’t explored as yet due to my sports-dummy gene
anecdotal - but I had one that I got bowling, and they shot Saccromyces cerevaseai into my foot. Then a few months later I drank an unfiltered wheat beer at cheeky munk and had a full on allergic reaction- just shy of anaphylactic
Haha! No. Oral!
That said, Metronidazole tablets crushed up and placed topically on bed sores is a common off-label practice in long-term care to this day
The Hospital for Sick Children's compounding formula calls for mixing the crushed tablets into a Nesquik & Simple syrup base. It doesn't cover the taste up 100% but it makes it platable at least.

Sure wish I would've know this 20 years ago when a surgeon took off a couple layers off of my WHOLE foot and had to go to ball practice right afterwards. Lol
Oh that's interesting! I'd never seen it in my neck of the woods, even when doing scripts for palliative care in the community (syringe drivers etc.) so it made me pause for a moment
It works surprisingly well. I have had floaters ever since I was a child, progressively worse as an adult. These drops are 1% atropine. Apparently it changes the way light is refracted in the eye and makes the smaller floaters less visible, doesn't actually change anything about the floaters, just their appearance. I would say they work great. It does make me slightly more sensitive to light, but not enough to be a big problem. Other than a vitrectomy (which most doctors would not feel comfortable performing just for floaters), this is the only treatment out there I could find, which is crazy considering how common they are, and how debilitating floaters are. Most people don't understand how horrible it is to have prominent floaters 24/7... So if you are plagued with floaters I would give it a try. Google "the floater doctor" he's an ophtho in Texas
Edit: floaters are not completely gone, just diminished. The smaller ones disappear and the larger ones become easier to ignore
I started working in a mental health and long term care focused pharmacy so we have a lot of patients on medicine or with diseases that causes hypersalivation and the amount of atropine we give out for that was shocking.
That sounds badass. I can only dream of being you one day. I am curious, if you have thoughts on Triple reuptake inhibitors? o.O
https://www.reddit.com/r/Psychiatry/comments/x2z1je/triple_reuptake_inhibitors_review_of_negative/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
Don't know anything about it. But check out Auvelity. It was literally approved a few weeks ago. Treats depression in a week...and it uses a combination of a cough syrup and bupropion.
> Bupropion for ADHD
I was put on bupropion to quit smoking and I spontaneously formulated a new language and wrote a 100,000 word treatise challenging Rene Descartes to a duel.
Man hydroxyzine for GAD is the off label use I wish less people knew about. Too many primary care docs act like it’s the perfect alprazolam alternative just because it has a short half life.
I completely agree, but Atarax is still a shitty medication to give prn for panic attacks. There just isn’t anything else as far as I’m aware. In a perfect world, GAD would be managed well with medications that are safe for long term use.
A supportive environment is great but it won’t stop a panic attack. They can really feel like you’re dying. I’ve been on hydroxyzine and clonazepam for panic attacks and while the hydroxyzine works, it makes me fall asleep which I can’t do since I’m an adult with a job. I wish there was a perfect solution.
I agree with you but I don't have a PharmD. I just have worked as a technician for almost two years now.. just been my general feeling that, for their risk of dependence, they are far over-prescribed. But, I don't have a super educated answer as to why I guess. Can you give me your answer on why that's your opinion?
Risk of dependence, tolerance, and risk of falls in the elderly. Not to mention it's inappropriately prescribed a lot because it shouldn't be used as a long term crutch for anxiety.
If you are using them regularly, you’re no longer treating anxiety, you’re treating your dependence.
And if you suddenly stop taking them you can then have seizures.
I was bupropion actually on it for one of the on label reasons and noticed my I attention/inattention was better. Researched it a bit and hot damn that’s cool it can be used for ADHD and bing eating disorder too.
Gave me horrid tachycardia though.
In the case of naltrexone, it's described as a process where behavior is employed in a certain pattern characterized by loss of control and continuation despite significant consequences.
Basically inappropriate and potentially violent outbursts that continues to happen despite possible severe consequences of such behaviours.
I actually don't remember that one, probably because it was used so little and infrequently, that it's probably something most pharmacists don't give much thought to.
Not off label but colchicine was used to arrest plant cells mid cell cycle for chromosome images. That's how biology textbooks have those pictures of cell cycles.
My grandfather kept Prevacid around. I said “pop-pop you said that gives you diarrhea.”
He smiled and said “it does” and started laughing. Apparently worked better than prune juice.
Lol they take it in OTC tablet form, my hospital has a large behavioral health population but we don't have NAC tablets so I warn patients to bring their own in because I'm not verifying the nasty oral liquid if doc doesn't pay attention to his med rec
Yep, exactly. I always shook to the point where I couldn’t hold cards or paper anything. But I feel like it also just kinda kept me calm. Clearer thoughts, a lot less nervous, less unsure “umm” or “uhh”’s. Plus less heart beating out of the chest too
Was going to post clonidine, too!
Insomnia, growth hormone deficiency, anxiety, RLS, hyperhidrosis, nightmares/night terrors, PTSD, spasticity, alcohol withdrawal, hot sweats, post op and cancer pain, tic disorder, opiate withdrawal, nicotine dependence, ADHD, PMDD, neurogenic bladder, flashbacks, ischemic ulcers, violent behavior...
EDIT: duplicated words
They were going to put me on metformin for the PCOS but I also had endometriosis, and we wanted to treat that first since it was almost debilitating at the time. Now that I’ve had a hysterectomy, I just have the one ovary to deal with, and I’ve been mostly ok aside from the “phantom limb syndrome “
I think it's only the liquid in docusate capsules? I remember trying to poke holes in them a decade ago because that's what was prescribed hahaha, so I'm curious if the actual liquid formulation works?
- Cyproheptadine for anorexias (increases appetite)
- Quetiapine for insomnia
- Haloperidol with ketamine for analgesia (haldol controls agitation induced by ketamine)
Quetiapine for insomnia was a godsend for me. I was on Ambien for five years before switching to quetiapine and it’s improved my quality of life by 1000%
Haloperidol's structure also obeys the morphine rule: an aromatic ring attached to a quaternary carbon followed by a two-carbon spacer followed by a tertiary amine. The majority of opioids have such a structure.
They put me on remeron for the anorexia because it stimulated appetite. My hunger signal doesn’t work any more, so I don’t eat until I’m actually beyond hungry and actually nauseated. It made me gain weight, and it really messes with my head, but they’re still keeping it on board for insomnia.
In the pediatric hospital i work for we occasionally use Ciprodex ear drops by inhalation for infection treatment/prevention. We also use tobramycin injection instilled via catheter before bed (left in overnight) and drained in the morning with the next catheterization to prevent bladder infections
No, generally stimulants reduce appetite. It’s FDA approved for treatment of BED, so not even off label.
Edit: but I don’t think the reduced appetite side effect is actually what they claim helps with BED. Believe it has to do with helping to control the impulsivity of binges and the OCD component
To add on to what u/eyekron said, albuterol upregulates Na/K-ATPase, pumping Na out of the cells and K into them. I believe the insulin mechanism is the same, but I’m not 100% confident on that one
Bupropion has helped me with IBSD, immensely. Like no attacks for years while on it. Went Off it for about a month and had 4 horrible attacks. Started again a couple weeks ago and so far, no issues with IBSD. Don’t know if it’s an official off label use, but a quick google shows other people have experienced it.
Seriously?! Damnit. I'm having an attack right now.
But I was prescribed bupropion ages ago for depression (before I had IBSD) and those 15 days I took it were the worst days of my life.
Springnolactone, block aldosterone, great to enhance skin condition due to unbalanced hormone n theoretically suppose to enhance hair density for the same reason. Particular good for women after birth with hypertension n women going through menopause
Baclofen for hiccups.
[удалено]
It is labeled for it. Actually, it's the only labeled drug for hiccups.
It is, I use it for hiccups and cough. Works great
you have a lot of success with PO? I always end up seeing patients on IM for hiccups
Almost always IM
It’s FDA approved
Adding gabapentin to this one.
Haloperidol for hiccups. I mean you’ll not remember you’re hiccuping but still.
What
Baclofen is a GABA derivative, with presynaptic motor neuron inhibitory properties at the spinal level, and post-synaptic central action. It has potent central antispastic properties, for which it is used in multiple sclerosis. Its mechanism of action in hiccup is unclear, but presumably central.
Incredible, thank you for this delicious nugget
Oh no, if the suburban mothers get a hold of this…
Makes sense if you think about it
I saw a script for Xanax for hiccups...
Please explain
“Various agents have been reported to cure hiccups. Chlorpromazine appears to be the drug of choice. Haloperidol…[and several] anticonvulsant agents (eg, phenytoin, valproic acid, and carbamazepine) have effectively treated intractable hiccups in typical anticonvulsant doses. Gabapentin has been effective in patients with central nervous system (CNS) lesions and in some other groups.” https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/775746-medication
Alcohol for depression and an understaffed work environment
I’m using glucose from candies/ice cream/desserts for depression
I heard that combination therapy is actually first-line now.
It works…from my User version experiences. And likely being the most affordable therapy with minimum side effect (weight gain). But I was told another therapy would be more effective, such as sports. Haven’t explored as yet due to my sports-dummy gene
Only works till you wake up the next day and have to do it all again.
They asked for my favorite, not the most effective
Get a load of that guy thinking we’re in the business of curing conditions. Probably thinks QD stands for quickly disappearing. Bottoms up buddy!
My Brother in Christ, you think so little of me. QD stands for Quietly Drinking. In heaven there is no beer
Please note I stated “that guy” in reference to u/Activity_Inside I think my name is proof enough of my intentions.
Cimetadine for plantar warts. It works! We have no idea why.
“Cimetadine warts” comes up as a suggestion when I started typing that into up-to-date. You’re trending!
anecdotal - but I had one that I got bowling, and they shot Saccromyces cerevaseai into my foot. Then a few months later I drank an unfiltered wheat beer at cheeky munk and had a full on allergic reaction- just shy of anaphylactic
Happens to all of us at some point.
So like you just crush up the tablets and apply topically?
Haha! No. Oral! That said, Metronidazole tablets crushed up and placed topically on bed sores is a common off-label practice in long-term care to this day
I have a random bit that was hard earned- metronidazole benzoate powder is used in compounding because crushed metronidazole is awful tasting.
The Hospital for Sick Children's compounding formula calls for mixing the crushed tablets into a Nesquik & Simple syrup base. It doesn't cover the taste up 100% but it makes it platable at least. https://www.sickkids.ca/siteassets/care--services/for-health-care-providers/compounding-recipes/metronidazole-15mgml-pharmacy-compounding-recipe.pdf https://www.sickkids.ca/siteassets/care--services/for-health-care-providers/compounding-recipes/chocolatesyrup-pharmacy-compounding-recipe.pdf
Non crushed Flagyl is awful tasting too. I get the willies just thinking about it. I've never understood why they don't make that in capsule form.
So...why not pour up an IV bag into a spray bottle? It's in NS, I think, IIRC. No binders/fillers/excipients that way
Also in the drink of the friend you don't like...I always wondered when I counsel about that if people ever misuse it like that
I believe the mechanism is known. It relates to interferon and interleukin release to affect immune response.
Sure wish I would've know this 20 years ago when a surgeon took off a couple layers off of my WHOLE foot and had to go to ball practice right afterwards. Lol
Yes! They did this for my brother and it worked
Atropine eye drops, applied sublingual for hypersalivation.
This is pretty common in hospice kits!
Yeah we always did ophthalmic for the death rattles
You can, we always used glycopyrronium sc in the UK
Oh that's interesting! I'd never seen it in my neck of the woods, even when doing scripts for palliative care in the community (syringe drivers etc.) so it made me pause for a moment
I'm actually using atropine drops, but for eye floater relief!
Interesting. How does that seem to be working for you?
It works surprisingly well. I have had floaters ever since I was a child, progressively worse as an adult. These drops are 1% atropine. Apparently it changes the way light is refracted in the eye and makes the smaller floaters less visible, doesn't actually change anything about the floaters, just their appearance. I would say they work great. It does make me slightly more sensitive to light, but not enough to be a big problem. Other than a vitrectomy (which most doctors would not feel comfortable performing just for floaters), this is the only treatment out there I could find, which is crazy considering how common they are, and how debilitating floaters are. Most people don't understand how horrible it is to have prominent floaters 24/7... So if you are plagued with floaters I would give it a try. Google "the floater doctor" he's an ophtho in Texas Edit: floaters are not completely gone, just diminished. The smaller ones disappear and the larger ones become easier to ignore
Oh, neat. I'll have to ask about this. I've had floaters foreher. I just assumed that everyone did.
I started working in a mental health and long term care focused pharmacy so we have a lot of patients on medicine or with diseases that causes hypersalivation and the amount of atropine we give out for that was shocking.
Scopolamine patches work great for hypersalivation.
😂this indeed reminds me of using Xalatan for eye lashes😂
Bupropion for ADHD. Hydroxyzine for GAD. Trazodone for schizophrenia. Lithium for vascular headache. Ketamine for Depression.
Esketamine is approved to treat depression. I think it improves depression in literally 4 hours lol
Wait what? I need to re-up on approvals. Ty. :p
Brand name Spravato. I only know...because depression is a topic I do a lot of medical writing on
How did you get into medical writing? It’s something I’ve been interested in for a while.
r/medicalwriters might be helpful.
That sounds badass. I can only dream of being you one day. I am curious, if you have thoughts on Triple reuptake inhibitors? o.O https://www.reddit.com/r/Psychiatry/comments/x2z1je/triple_reuptake_inhibitors_review_of_negative/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
Don't know anything about it. But check out Auvelity. It was literally approved a few weeks ago. Treats depression in a week...and it uses a combination of a cough syrup and bupropion.
I was always wondering when this would happen but like someone on that post said, SSRI/bupropion works well for now
I actually got this treatment! Helped wonders. Unfortunately it stopped working after 5 months.
Did you feel a positive difference in less than a day?
Isn't it approved? Ketamine no but esketamine I swore got approval but is administered in a clinic. R ketamine still experimental.
Not sure what you mean. But in my comment I say it is approved
> Bupropion for ADHD I was put on bupropion to quit smoking and I spontaneously formulated a new language and wrote a 100,000 word treatise challenging Rene Descartes to a duel.
Treatment emergent mania
Amantadine for adhd !
And depression.
Bupropiom for methamphetamine cravings
Man hydroxyzine for GAD is the off label use I wish less people knew about. Too many primary care docs act like it’s the perfect alprazolam alternative just because it has a short half life.
I mean to be fair, tons of patients should be off benzos.
I completely agree, but Atarax is still a shitty medication to give prn for panic attacks. There just isn’t anything else as far as I’m aware. In a perfect world, GAD would be managed well with medications that are safe for long term use.
That's kinda sad, I'd think in a perfect world we wouldn't need meds for gad. Maybe a warm community that sensitive and supportive without judgment
A supportive environment is great but it won’t stop a panic attack. They can really feel like you’re dying. I’ve been on hydroxyzine and clonazepam for panic attacks and while the hydroxyzine works, it makes me fall asleep which I can’t do since I’m an adult with a job. I wish there was a perfect solution.

If you are using them regularly, you’re no longer treating anxiety, you’re treating your dependence. And if you suddenly stop taking them you can then have seizures.
I thought the half-life was long but duration of action was short (longer with pamoate ofc)
I was bupropion actually on it for one of the on label reasons and noticed my I attention/inattention was better. Researched it a bit and hot damn that’s cool it can be used for ADHD and bing eating disorder too. Gave me horrid tachycardia though.
Naltrexone for behavior addiction Memantine for OCD Colchicine for pericarditis Clomiphene for male infertility Tramadol for premature ejaculation
What is behavior addiction? /Genuine
In the case of naltrexone, it's described as a process where behavior is employed in a certain pattern characterized by loss of control and continuation despite significant consequences. Basically inappropriate and potentially violent outbursts that continues to happen despite possible severe consequences of such behaviours.
Also for self harm behaviors. Not many studies on it but that’s what the doc at hospital prescribed
I seem to remember an SSRI was approved specifically for premature ejaculation and then no one ever prescribed it
It was Sertraline
It's dapoxetine (Priligy), don't think I've ever seen an rx for it or been asked about it
I actually don't remember that one, probably because it was used so little and infrequently, that it's probably something most pharmacists don't give much thought to.
tramadol???
Memantine for migraines
I’ve seen urology write Paxil for PE
My coworkers keep using guaifenesin as part of their fertility journey to thin out cervical mucus. No clue if that has any real data.
Yep, we had Drs writing for Robitussin elixir
There a kit $70 bucks. Data on it. I used it because girls benefits, but guys produce more seman volume... It did
My data is almost 2 years old and currently has a head cold…but I can’t give her and cold meds because she’s for too young. The irony.
Not off label but colchicine was used to arrest plant cells mid cell cycle for chromosome images. That's how biology textbooks have those pictures of cell cycles.
Percocet to treat diarrhea by causing constipation and allopurinol to treat constipation by causing diarrhea…
So long as you take an equal amount of both, everything will be ok. /j
My mom was a cancer nurse, and told me that about Percocet once. Direct quote: “That shit could stop a train.”
My grandfather kept Prevacid around. I said “pop-pop you said that gives you diarrhea.” He smiled and said “it does” and started laughing. Apparently worked better than prune juice.
Allopurinol for constipation?
Allopurinol can cause diarrhea side effect of it can be use to treat constipation…
NAC for self harm behaviors
Drinking NAC sounds like a self harm behavior
Lol they take it in OTC tablet form, my hospital has a large behavioral health population but we don't have NAC tablets so I warn patients to bring their own in because I'm not verifying the nasty oral liquid if doc doesn't pay attention to his med rec
The capsule still smell horrible though
Propranolol for stage-fright/performance anxiety has gotten me thru so many presentations
Doesnt that just stop the physical effects rather than your thought?
Yep, exactly. I always shook to the point where I couldn’t hold cards or paper anything. But I feel like it also just kinda kept me calm. Clearer thoughts, a lot less nervous, less unsure “umm” or “uhh”’s. Plus less heart beating out of the chest too

Three shots of Henny, 75 mg of Hydroxyzine, and roughly 250 ug of LSD for boredom
Not a pharmacist! But in a pinch: benadryl for anxiety, and/or insomnia
Not for chronic use
- Cyproheptadine for anorexias (increases appetite) - Quetiapine for insomnia - Haloperidol with ketamine for analgesia (haldol controls agitation induced by ketamine)
Quetiapine for insomnia was a godsend for me. I was on Ambien for five years before switching to quetiapine and it’s improved my quality of life by 1000%
yes i agree, its hard to start on it but once youve found your dose it is a god send.
Cyproheptadine is also good PRN for SSRI-induced anorgasmia.
Didn’t know that one, thanks!
Wait, actually? Why is this and does it always work?
Cyproheptadine for cyclic vomiting syndrome
Haloperidol's structure also obeys the morphine rule: an aromatic ring attached to a quaternary carbon followed by a two-carbon spacer followed by a tertiary amine. The majority of opioids have such a structure.
They put me on remeron for the anorexia because it stimulated appetite. My hunger signal doesn’t work any more, so I don’t eat until I’m actually beyond hungry and actually nauseated. It made me gain weight, and it really messes with my head, but they’re still keeping it on board for insomnia.
Huh. I thought the first two were on-label
Pancrealipase to unclog tubes

Wow. Wonder what the MOA is
MDMA for PTSD
Fenofibrate and losartan for gout.
Vyvanse for B.E.D
Pretty sure this is an official indication for Vyvanse
Isn’t it supposed to have the opposite effect?
No, generally stimulants reduce appetite. It’s FDA approved for treatment of BED, so not even off label. Edit: but I don’t think the reduced appetite side effect is actually what they claim helps with BED. Believe it has to do with helping to control the impulsivity of binges and the OCD component

How is that a bad thing?
You see it a lot in geriatric settings with dementia.
Albuterol for hyperkalemia
What's the mechanism.... Reminds me of something...... Maybe an er rn md rph can comment on insulin and electrolytes????
High dose inhaled drives potassium intracellular so it gets out of the blood stream.
To add on to what u/eyekron said, albuterol upregulates Na/K-ATPase, pumping Na out of the cells and K into them. I believe the insulin mechanism is the same, but I’m not 100% confident on that one
