> This is another case where it might pay to try to scour the internet for research chemical suppliers to find bulk isocarboxazid powder (USP is preferable). If I were "resistant" to every FDA-approved drug, I would do my best to try things like chlorgyline, etc. that are available as research chemicals. This is my right, and my right for my life, and that comes before any FDA mandate.

> Whatever happened to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness?" I wish I could publicly try to help broker these drugs for people from chemical suppliers, but the FDA would try to have me imprisoned. At the very least, Dr. Bob would stop me from posting. :(This is a fascinating concept that I've never seen posted here before. What you're really talking about is the right to free enterprise--the right to establish a legitimate business with a legitimate product. On paper, you can do it. But unfortunately there are such things as big fat profit-oriented drug companies with high-paid lawyers, and they would probably pay you a "friendly" visit. They woukl be working hand-in-glove with a big t government agency that would also try to bully and/or imprison you on legal grounds.
Yet, If it were a matter of life or death (as wuld probably be the case with me too, vis a vis Parnate), and if I possessed the monetary resources to obtain bulk tranylcypromine,, I would first check with an attorney. He/she would have to scour the laws--old and new--for any hidden or archaic laws that might prohibit a oprivate citizen from making home made medicine.
. If such a law existed, you'd be litigating to overturn the law.Who knows? You could fight this issue all the way to the Supreme Court, and if you won, it wold be a landmark decision that would send shock waves throughout the pharmaceutical industry. Just my thoughts.
