hello there, chemist here...my comments delineated by asterisks....be well, chemist
> Ok, Yes, i HAVE taken other prescriptions that are not mine, yes i know this is not legal and moral. I am being honest./**********************************************
the issue is not a personal attack on your real or perceived legal and/or moral ``violations.'' you request assistance, yet on new year's eve 2004, you post an exalted hail to Xanax on PB; i - and certainly others - chose to delicately suggest that Nembutal and Dilantin are items that ought not be sampled from the medicine chest at home: act like a teenager and sneak a beer or two when the folks are out.i penned a direct and not in any way hurtful missive to you if for the only reason that your parents, friends, and doctors have not: your directives - repeated and annoying - for somebody to ``READ THIS NOW'' or some such are not heard by your fine-tuned ears.

> Yes, i indeed take Adderall 60mg, Cymbalta 30mg, Klonopin .5mg. Thanks you/***********************************************
you are welcome. now we are making progress. cymbalta is free of choice for the 30 mg dose. what time of day do you take it? adderall: is it XR or IR? 30 mg b.i.d., 15 mg q.i.d., q.p., what? klonopin: 0.5 mg prn hs insomnia, or more? exercise? age? do you smoke? drink? what is your diet like? sleep well? anything you wish to disclose as a minor on a public website gets the HIPAA wave....

/************************************************
this is usually the point where i make a wiseass remark such as ``yeah, right, you smoothed it out with pentobarbital and stoli'' but i am feeling your pain and i request that the jury disregard the comment i did not choose to relay to Matthew. you have labeled yourself as a non-compliant patient and, worse, you request advice and information yet do not investigate any of it. you ``thought you were an expert'' in re: stimulants, but your perceived failure with Adderall is hitting home personally. how can any person make any useful comment concerning your status when as recently as a day or two ago risperidone was on the menu? and Dextrostat? and the Xanax repeats?

/***********************************************
read it again, Matthew: the phrase ``drug seeking'' is nowhere to be found in my assessment
of your condition, which you requested. the statement was not written by me nor are you to attribute it to me in my assessment of your medical history.

sorry, but you would not have the tone to a 37 year old woman going through bad anxiety, i guess some medication should be recomeneded to her to help, well same here. Goodness, nervous breakdowns are almost a routine.

/************************************************
aside from the gender and an extra two years, you have described me. you also make an assumption that my (requested) ``consult'' from you would differ from that emanating from a woman of my age: you are correct. you litter PB with 4 requests directed at ME to jump in and solve your problems. i tell you to knock off whatever you are doing that even remotely interferes with your treatment. i suggest therapy/counseling. i am not alone, and this is the last time i take a stab at pretending to be a parent.

no, you are the the person who has provided the accurate information. i thank you.

so: you either see a psychiatrist for a meds check - a 20 minute mutual back-slapping exercise where prescriptions are exchanged for $75-$100 - every 21 days or, if you feel that it is not necessary, you do not go. You live in Dallas. Adderall is a Schedule II drug. Texas state law requires a written prescription for a one (1) month supply, no refills, and the script pad contains security features. No phone requests. You have seven (7) days from the day the script is written (and dated with your address, phone, and D.O.B.) to have it filled: after that time, you must secure another script. If you are covered with health insurance, you will exhaust your supply of meds before the 28-day wait on a refill for the Klonopin and Cymbalta: the Adderall is watched with more scrutiny and again, no refills. Ninety (90) generic (Barr) 15 mg capsules substituted for the brand name costs $135 at the local HEB. The brand would scrape $190. Assuming Adderall is priced as Dexedrine XR capsules, you are looking at a hefty price tag, some explaining to do with your doctor, or a tangle with your parents' insurance carrier. How do you do it?
