💊Medication Expert!💊
Hey! Thanks for checking out my channel. I’m Dr. Ethan Melillo and I’m a residency trained pharmacist trying to use social media to explain exactly how medications work and to give you all an inside look into the world of pharmacy.
After talking to patients daily and seeing so many misdiagnoses as well as patients being on the wrong medication I think it's so important to understand how medications work because treatment options vary on a patient to patient case. For any diagnosis, there are a multitude of treatment options available and I want you to feel comfortable communicating how a medication is working with your doctor in order to find the best treatment.
(And from time to time I’ll be sharing glimpses into my life because even though I love everything about pharmacy and medications I want to show that pharmacists have lives outside of work 😊)
Thank you for subscribing because this social media journey has greatly changed my life!

Patient JUMPS into Pharmacist’s Car?!?
IUD's hurt though! They don't even give anesthetic when you ask for it, thinking it's not a big deal for women when it's one of the most painful procedures for women. Also, no, this doesn't help with aborting the budding pregnancy. We needed a list of medications, not just the one alternative.
Looks like generic Januvia
My muscles dont have the strength for me to stand. My bones hurt. I havnt slept in 3 days. I cant stop moving my legs. It hurts to move but it hurts not to move. I cant stop twitching. Fent withdrawal is nothing. Easy. Subs are hell on earth. Felt like this for about 7 weeks without end last time i did this. Only thing that stopped was kratom. Now i get to stop both.
Can I appreciate you for a moment. You didn’t judge her. Instead you recognized her state of being and raised awareness to it. This is what occurs when we are pushed to the limit. I hope she wasn’t fired, but the situation addressed, customers were eventually helped, and she received the support she desperately needed.
"Shingle can be pretty painful." Understatement if ever I heard one. I have been beaten, bruised, lacerated, burned, an had broken bones and I would rather have any of those again over shingles again. I'd go so far as to say I might even prefer to have a couple of those others at a time since my shingles literally felt like I was beaten till I had broken ribs, burned, and had acid tossed on the wounds. Yeah, they are "pretty painful." 😂
I know for a fact you can get them on your butt!
Spicy taco
I didn't know that. But now I'm even more determined not to risk getting it from the shingles vaccine people tell me to get. No thanks!
A reminder to all adults over 50: Get your shingles vaccine! @smfarrie2943
Oh no ! Painful
Just a question, but why doesn’t it work over a certain weight?
Because the dosage will be too low. A lot of medication is adjusted by weight to make sure you don't get too little or too much.
What do you take for shingles..? ALOT of morphine.... A LOT and I never had it there.. 👀 Whatever is stronger than morphine, iv me non stop-
I get it on my butt cheek! Always in the same spot too! 🤦🏽♀️ What meds do they prescribe?!?! 🤷🏽♀️🙏🏽🙋🏽♀️
My pharmacist did a good job warning me that starting it was going to be baaaaad. So thankful that the side effects eventually passed, but that was a rough month and a bit.
Used to work at cvs back when I was a pharmacy intern. Over worked, underpaid, and being treated like shit by every third patient I came across. Retail pharmacy gave me depression. I never went to get diagnosed, but i stopped enjoying the things that had always bring me joy. I stopped eating, stopped cleaning after myself, struggled with school work. I cried for hours after I finally quit that job for a hospital pharmacy job.
I think most moms have gotten to this point...no just me 😅
Gabapentin. Please. Wise one, give us the important info.
Wow
Sounds like he hates testosterone
Supplements cause him to lose money
😮😢
Most the time it's on the other side. Guess it happens to everyone
This stuff did absolutely nothing for anxiety, let alone panic attacks, I may not be a doctor, but benzos seem to be the best option for panic attacks. Lexapro and Buspar were worthless. Had a friend on Buspar and made him su1c1dal
Could you do clonidine? Im on the patches for chronic pain and adhd and its changed my life. The patches are convenient, get around having to take pills on time, and help take the urgent edge off of my chronic pain! Its fucking magical
Both my parents have had psychosis triggered by this drug family, particularly amatriptaline, and believe me i have met so many drs who think that its just the dice i have to roll. Like sorry buddy but i actually care about not being suicidal and feeling like the undead
Worst medicine. Gabapentin just as bad.
We ❤ and appreciate all the pharmacists out there! They are definitely overworked, under paid, and not appreciated enough! Thank you to all the pharmacists and techs that work in the pharmacy!
I was a cvs technician and I completely understand. I literally had a breakdown just like this, had to leave because of a panic attack and my dr said you can either quit or go on medication. Well I quit and never stepped foot in a pharmacy again, completely switched careers. I feel so much worse for the pharmacist but us techs had to deal with a lot too
This is such a hard thing to watch. That poor pharmacist was pushed past the breaking point and she broke. The CVS is lucky that she had the forethought to shut down the pharmacy properly and didn’t just walk out with the gates open. I really hope she gets out of that situation and finds something that brings her joy again. Shame on CVS for putting profits before everything to the detriment of the pharmacy staff. We are healthcare providers not fast food, stop expecting us to produce more and more and more with less and less and then act surprised when this happens.
During 2020 I watched several employees walk out after being berated and hours cut at our pharmacy due to staff shortage because of how fkn rude people were. Then we got stuck w people who didn't know what they were doing 🙄 I feel for her. People are jerks
As a tech for CVS I can confirm this has happened ALOT. Pharmacist and techs are so severely underpaid and understaffed this happens at every CVS I’ve ever worked at….10/10 do not recommend working for CVS…
And ruins your liver
major diabetes right here omg if you eat this everyday your a1c is gonna go up super fast
I got chicken pox when I was 5, - it started "down there" and spread everywhere - I had alot of oatmeal baths.
When just one pack of those Swiss rolls is like 200 calories at least 🥲🥲🥲 That’s somebody’s daily calorie intake on that plate
I’ll take nuclear reactor fuel if it gets rid of my sore throat. Like dude I know what I’m taking isn’t the best for my body 🤦♂️
Thx i just watched a vid in which Johnny Cash was h i g h on this stuff. Had to know
Your stools are dark also
Pharmacists have to look 90 year old patients in the eye and tell them their CANCER medications are not covered. I would go home and cry every single day, we need to support our heros much better than this.
Gorgeous photos! Congratulations!
My heart ❤breaks for her. 🕊️🙏🏻
Pharmacists and support staff are vital to our health care. They are usually the ones who realize prescribed medications have contraindications. They need better support in the workplace, better staffing, and reasonable working hours. CVS should stop being open 24/7 if they can't staff properly. This is heartbreaking. Mental health is health!
Talk about the scented chemical crap in Flonase. I am sensitive to smells and can’t use this product. Disgusting floral scent 😢why, just why….
Ridiculous! Whose running this show? We are sitting ducks 🦆 😮😢😮
We are abused and treated awful.
CVS is always understaffed and customers need to understand what these pharmacists go through.
I can't understand what she is saying at all. What is actually happening here?
Happy World Pharmacist’s Day! Thank you for making this channel. I’ve learned a lot. And I’ve always been grateful for my pharmacist. Especially when she agreed with me to try something from somewhere else that cost $10 vs the $1600 it was going to cost me. ❤
My personal experience( read this): This is for sleep disorders. They dont always cause sleepiness or slowness. For me it got my sleep schedule back up from how much it was deprived for many many years, and gave me a ton of physical energy that I also started exercising. However be understanding that they will only give this medication not forever, someday they may just retract you from it. When I stopped it after really long I also did not have withdrawal or cravings, things went back to my previous sleep state slowly( ugh that sucks but I live with it) Overall today, even though I haven't had normal sleep for months I'm still kind of a better person because of it. In the mean time I will look for sleep organizing meds forever bc my condition wont stop. Good luck to everyone cause sleep disorder is HARD.
Many of us are one person away from a breakdown and quitting.
