Thanks Shelli, I had not seen the new FAQ and the
link you mentioned. It still does not change much about the questions I asked. A recient re-read of the law and publications reguarding import of meds has convinced me this is totally illegal.
The US Customs is the first US athority one must pass to import meds, and they clearly require a perscription from a doc. This is not a grey area, Customs has just been looking the other way.We cannot discuss ways to kill ourselves here, but we can discuss ways to commit illegal acts
and perhaps do great harm to ourselves, as long as it is in the intrest of "getting well". Of all the AD's, the TCA's are the ones that are most easy to kill oneself with. Sal just told someone
where to get some. How do we know what the posters true reasons are ? How do we know the condition a poster states they have is really what they have? Tell Sal you are depressed and whatever has not worked and Jason will give you a "Sal Special Coctail for Depression ". What happens if this person is actually BP ? The hospital is what happens, at the least.I don't think it is OK to say "decide for yourself" and wash your hands of it. No one should be that naive so assume lay people are able to ponder the medical and legal implications on this issue. How can most do this when the issues are so technical.
I would still like to hear what Dr Bob has to say, himself.
