In reply to Klonopin Controversies - Anyone Have Followup?, posted by Rick on January 17, 2002, at 18:47:06
I used to live in San Diego. Chula Vista is an ugly, crime-ridden, gang-infested border city on the U.S. side of the border. San Diego is up to its ears in drugs, both illegal & legal brought over from Tijuana. In order to allow old people to buy cheap prescription drugs, any U.S. citizen 21 or older, is allowed to bring up to 50 pills each of any prescription drug(s) across, without a valid US prescription, if they declare them at the border. You can even bring across schedule II controlled substances, for example: 50 Ritalin & 50 Morphine Sulfate pills, but once the person enters the state (California, Arizona, New Mexico, or Texas) it is illegal to possess the drug without a prescription. I have found that sometimes the drugs in Mexico are made by a name brand but that they are inferior to the U.S. example. For example I bought Ritalin made by Novartis is Mexico, but at 10 mg it seemed it was not even as strong as 5 mg of U.S. Novartis name brand Ritalin.
I hope that date drug hysteria doesn't move on to strike Klonopin- Klonopin is the only psychiatric drug I have found that is worth even taking. It is already ridiculous on how hard it is to get a prescription for benzodiazepines, the last thing we need is something to make that situation worse. Doctors should go back & take a look at what we had before benzodiazepines- Miltown & barbituatues, & then ask themselves if benzodiazepines are really the devil they make them out to be.
