Have you ever noticed that, when you've tried to refill your anxiety meds or other controlled meds, you may get a "weird look" at the pharmacy? Or why sometimes your medication isn't covered by your insurance? Or has your pharmacist ever mentioned "the PMP" to you?There often is a lack of transparency in healthcare, so we wanted to take the time to shed some light on controlled medication specifically for stress and anxiety.Why are these meds controlled? What is the pharmacist doing on the computer when you bring in a script?

CBD is everywhere these days! But it it really safe? Some claim it's a miracle product.

We get this question A LOT at the pharmacy. Whether it's brand vs. generic or alprazolam vs. clonazepam, we've heard it all.All stress and anxiety meds have some safety concerns you should be aware of as a consumer. Many that are used to help people "fall asleep" don't typically promote a "restful sleep". However, there is a place for these meds in terms of immediate stress/anxiety relief. It's important to understand how these meds work, the differences between them, what they "can do" and "can't do", and how they affect your body. These are things we frequently counsel our patients on at the pharmacy.Hosted by personal trainer / nutrition coach Vince Bellitti (NASM-CPT, WLS, Pn1).

Others will even half a drink as a "night cap" to fall asleep. Does that actually help and promote restful sleep? In fact, one of our pharmacists in this episode is a "night cap" drinker himself. So, let's have a candid conversation about it!Hosted by personal trainer / nutrition coach Vince Bellitti (NASM-CPT, WLS, Pn1) and pharmacist James Park (RPh, PharmD), featuring John Bellitti (RPh).
