re: Desoxyn availability

Posted by Hud Ramelan on December 20, 1998, at 17:58:35

Hello! I am a Canadian narcoleptic/ADHD'r who has found greatest success with Desoxyn (methamphetamine). I've tried the other psychostims with poor result. Desoxyn is the only psychostim. that I tolerate well, and it is clearly more effective for treating my hyperactivity than dexedrine. Since Desoxyn is not licensed for prescription in canada, it is considered to be a 'non-marketed' drug here. Yet, through the Special Access Program in Ottawa, my physician has been able to procure it twice from Abbott laboratories. It is therefore available on a 'compassionate use' basis up here. Do you have any suggestions re: how I might more reliably procure Desoxyn, seeing as I have been forced to wait MONTHS at a time for a single order to arrive. How should my doc being going about this? How should I be going about this? Is it true that Desoxyn is available by prescription in America? If so, from all states? Finally, if I were to come to the United States with a letter from my doctor, is it possible for me to get a prescription and purchase a 3 month supply? Any information at all would really help, considering that no one has been able to even begin to address this issue for me. I understand that the availability of Desoxyn is also quite limited in America. Thanks.

James here.....

Sched. II meds can only be written for 1 month so you would only be able to get 1 months supply...at least that is the way it is here in New Mexico. There are federal laws as to prescribing and then each state can add to these laws so you would need to check the laws for the state you would be filling the med in.

>Thanks very much, saint james! I had not thought about the 1 month script limit... In canada amphetamines have recently been sort of rescheduled. That's actually not true: I think they remain schedule II (or Canada's equiv.)--however, they no longer require a triplicate, and they may be refilled twice. They may also be refilled with a phone call from the doc. But, indeed, I will have to find out the specific laws of the particular state that I will be entering.
I'm glad that someone out there knows what's up!
Later, Hud

James again...

I can tell you the federal laws for Sch II in the states require a paper script...no phone calls and no refills. I get 3 scripts (2 postdated...which is no so legal..but nice) and 1 time the pharmisit did fill all 3 at once. But this was at a pharmacy that knew me well. Desyxon is hard to find, I understand. Each state and a "state pharmasy board" that sets the states regulations so this is the agency you would need to contact. Feel free to contact me off list if I can be of any help.

I had a friend who got desoxyn for his narcolepsy also. Although he got it, it was tooth and nail everytime to get his Dr. to go along with it. Most Dr. are scared to death of the DEA meddling in their affairs. Good luck to you. As for my friend, it to was the only thing that gave him some relief from his symptoms. He has since passed away from diabites so I can't get you any more info. and yes as St. James has said all he got at a time was one month supplies, but he was able to get it mailed from California to Washington State. i don't know if this was entirely legal or not.
