> I just can't believe how much money you guys pay for meds in the US. It's disgraceful. I pay about $11 AUD (australian dollars) for 50 tabs of Valium which would probably be about $8 US
I was last month scripted 90, 5mg Valiums-BUT my (friendly) pharmacist somehow? gave me 180 5mg tabs:)Double-God bless him, it cost me nothing, because i am on a national frequent (health use) user program.
I was scripted Zopliclone, 7.5mg recently, and found it (somewhat) usefull, although the first time i took em' i took 10, with a few drinks, and had a GREAT restfull sleep, waking up at 9am the next morning, refreshed.
Subsequent trials with a single 7.5mg or 1.5 tabs resulated in a pleasant late afternoon nap.
Quite frankly 100-150mgs Diphenhydramine, knocks me out, AND i DON'T need a Docs permission to take it!!
Of course a Vodka or 2 with 10-15mgs Diazepam works well too:)
Cheers
