In reply to Buprenorphine, My experience , posted by DianeD on April 22, 2001, at 15:12:49
Last week I ordered 20 tablets of buprenorphine from a pharmacy in tijuana. I was very disturbed when I called the US post office only to find out that my money order had been seized by the postmaster general, and the DEA. My friend had given me the address, which she got on the internet. The pharmacy no longer answers the phone. The comforting news is the postmaster informed me that of the $8250.00 they seized from 38 differrent people, that are refraing from charging any of us at this time. Is there any legal way to obtain it without going to Mexico? I was informed my money order is now the property of the US gov. SCARY!! I had 18 mo. of recovery off vicodin and unfortunately relapsed in early May. A wonderful addiction specialist detoxed me with liquid buprenex. Sadly the DEA threatened his license if he contines to use it to treat addiction. What is even more frustrating is the FDA will tell you nothing about when it will be approved in under the tongue tablet form. I again slipped 10 days ago and found buprenorphine useful. I would like to know when it will be available. I have heard horrific stories about methadone and would love to avoid it at all costs. I guess its just the typical bureacracy and red tape of the FDA. I know that of recent, there is clinic in Florida And Pittsburgh utilizing this drug. The going $ in Mexico I've heard is $60 for 10 tablets. The DEA shut down the mexican pharmacy website as well. Things are looking grim. I had no idea it was illegal. My grandma has been ordering heart meds for years! If anyone knows anything more, please remit. Ciao
