If I were dishonest I could make a fortune with all xanax, klonopin, vicodin, ambien, I have when my Rx was changed. I keep them never knowing if I will need them again. Like when I started on the valium. I actually had a partial Rx that my pdoc had given me for my l7yr old dog before he died as he was deaf, blind, and disoriented and small amts helped him to settle down to sleep at night. I miss him sooooo much! He was my baby. And no other dog will ever take his place. I often find myself calling my new dog Brandy. Fondly, Phillipa

We have a channel that plays BBC shows plus some of the good ones are available on DVD. My friend has 4 seasons of Coupling on DVD, so I feel well versed. Coupling is one of the few things that can make me laugh even when I'm so depressed. Let me tell you, that certainly means something! ;)

I would say it depended in the quantity - and how well you like your chemist.
They are called 'controlled' substances for a reason. The pharmacy has to account for where they went, so if a large amount went missing the pharmacist might be accused of taking them.

The funny thing is, I only started going here recently, and struck up frendly contact with the chemist. He helped my (Potent-Benzo) drug-withdrawing as* out once, and lent me a couple of said-Benzo Tabs, til I got a script, to stop the shaking (no kidding, ugly situation, I was quickly going MAD) after the Doc had sent me away like this (nice ha?)
This Chemist-God bless him- helped me out, something the new Doc wouldn't do, and I bet my old Pharmacy (of 10 years+ business) probable wouldn't have either (I asked a fill-in Pharmacist there once-said "no, get a Script".
I would have told this Pharmacist what had happened, but there was someone else on, and she was kinda off-hand so...
I guess it pays to treat everyone well, you give what you get.

I'll take your extra as I am on valium, but they're so expensive to buy brandname as I have to do. Fondly, Phillipa

Hi,
>100+ 5mg Valium
150+ 5mg valium
200+ 5mg ValiumI think you should return them, that's a hell of a lot of diazepam. You must be taking a very high dose of diazepam at the moment for so many extra tablets to go unnoticed. Most diazepam prescriptions are for 14 or 28 tablets in the UK!

I in no-way would insult your good self, let alone myself, by STUPIDLY, offering Medicine to ANYONE.

Thanks kindly

So sorry! I'm away from home and will blame my inability to read a post acurately on not being on my computer. I paid about $138.00 for 90 5 mg Valium. I took the advise of this Board and switched from a generic. The brandname works much better. Fondly, Phillipa

>Hi ed,
no I can't, It would probably be nearly IMPOSSIBLY to try so.
I have been taking D-Pam, and other benzos for so many years and at such high daily doses that they do didly squat for me now, cept keep withdrawals at bay. Their recreational (does Diazepam have one? apparently, it must have?) thought does not hold any interest for me.
I would get more recreational value, and a bigger "buzz" from 1, yes 1 beer, as I dont drink.
I guess using the terms, Yellows, and Blues, may have given you that impression, but remember I have, (just again) seen 1989s excellent 'Drugstore Cowboy' and picked up some of the 'druggie' lingo I guess.

LOL :-) I hope you didn't take offense at my post. Are you taking diazepam for anxiety? What dose are you on at the moment? (I know you're tapering!)
Regards,
Ed.

To tell you the truth Ed, I was slightly offended and slightly hurt at the reference your post was heading in:(BUT)
you have such a good name, and are respected on these boards, and have always been helpfull to me, so I let be. I appreciate you asking thought
I have had an anxiety disorder for many years, and could, and was taking 8!!mgs Clonazepam and feel nothing!!
so enter the D-pam cessation programme.
PB Friends I hope? as I have respected your posts to others. Others who may be in very sensitive and delicate states.
Cheers Ed
