Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Epilepsy / May 2004Anyone Have Any Neurotin For Sale?
I would like to try this med for a few days to see if I can deal with the side effects. I don't have prescription insurance and my dr doesn't have any free samples. Anyone have any extras that I could try? Greatly appreciated. >ject: Anyone Have Any Neurotin For Sale? >From: mul211@aol.com (Mul211) [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] >effects.

It is against the law to do what you are asking with a control substance, and VERY ill advised, YOU ARE NEVER supposed to take another persons prescibed medication no matter what its for. Please I beg, dont even attempt this, instead, find out the drug company who makes it, go to their website and see if that drug is eligible for patient assistance and what you have to do to get it. advice, dont ever ask anyone in this group about buying or loaning medicine, they wont be amused with you "NOMAD205" wrote in message > > > It is against the law to do what you are asking with a control substance, and > VERY ill advised, YOU ARE NEVER supposed to take another persons prescibed [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > advice, dont ever ask anyone in this group about buying or loaning medicine, > they wont be amused with you. Well said. I was surprised too, as I've never seen anyone try get 'samples' here (since 1997). With so many potential side effects, and different seizure types, Epilepsy is not something we should tinker with, without a Doctor supervising the treatment. It's not (usually) like treating a cold or sore throat. But I had forgotten too about the potential for Patient Assistance Programs that might have been able to help. / G. > "NOMAD205" wrote in message > > > > It is against the law to do what you are asking with a control substance, [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > But I had forgotten too about the potential for Patient Assistance > Programs that might have been able to help. / G. Perhaps he is being misunderstood a bit. The subject header says "For Sale", so he is offering to pay and it's not a long-term deal since he said: >I would like to try this med for a few days to see if I can deal with the >side effects. So he may not be looking for Patient Assistance. > I don't have prescription insurance and my dr doesn't have any free >samples. Anyone have any extras that I could try? Greatly appreciated. I don't see why the "insurance" was mentioned when he is willing to pay. Why doesn't he just have the doctor write a very small prescription. Thta's one other thing as he didn't mention size such as 100mg, 400mg, 600mg ?? I willl say, though, that it is a very expensive drug!

(Usually the Pharmacy charge is a flat fee per Bottle whether it's 10 pills or 100. But I'd still rather see him go through normal channels, at least so far a safety and appropriate use went.) I didn't have experience with it (other than seeing people post about using it or side effects here). I just know that some (like my Tegretol and Frisium) take several weeks to build to a target dose (set and supervised by the Dr.), and then can produce 'recoil seizures' or whatever the Medical term is, from Prompt Stopping of it. So a 'short trial' could be potentially dangerous, if done on our own. If done outside of the Dr's. supervision, most (Life) insurance policies would likely become void, if it has potential serious side effects. I don't know if the same applies to the Med. type he suggested, wrt prompt stopping after trying it a short time. Either Barb's (excellent) suggestion With his Dr. or a short trial (with the Dr.) might get him 1-2 week's supply Direct from the Doctor if the Dr. had some samples, or some way to give him a trial period on it.

Like gaross said, it's probably not a good idea to start taking them and then abruptly stop because of the possibility of rebound seizures, which might end up being worse or more frequent than what you experience now. Also, with some of these medications you have to take them longer than just a few days to see any results. Since it sounds like you have a prescription but don't have the money to get it filled, you could try a few community assistance programs (like United Way) or there might be a free drug program from the manufacturer. Some clinics and hospitals, especially the bigger facilities, have employees who work with patients to help them find either free meds or programs available to pay for the prescriptions (they would know what programs are available in your community or region). Another thing is you've got to tell your doctor you can't afford this medication. He might be able to switch you to a less costly medication. Barb My question would be, do you actually suffer from epilepsy? You obviously know that neurontin is a drug used to treat seizures, but is this a condition from which you suffer, or do you simply feel that coming to this newsgroup would be an easy way to get your hands on some prescription drugs to take simply for a good buzz? No offence intended, but it doesn't sound like the type of request the average responsible minded person would make.

Bob If he's trying to get meds with "buzzes" and happy side effects, this is so the wrong place to be. Anyone here on meds with good side effects? > If he's trying to get meds with "buzzes" and happy side effects, this is so > the wrong place to be. > > Anyone here on meds with good side effects? HA! Don't we wish! I suppose phenobarbitol might give a buzz to a healthy person who took enough - but if you consider that a "good" feeling you're probably not as healthy as you think... > > If he's trying to get meds with "buzzes" and happy side effects, this is > so [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > person who took enough - but if you consider that a "good" feeling you're > probably not as healthy as you think... I'm currently starting to take neurontin....adjusting dose - trying to find optimum level, etc. I spend a lot of my time buzzing cos the levels are not currently right. I'm spinning, unsteady, shaky, slurred speach, wobbly head, unsteady eyesight. Maybe some people enjoy that kind of thing. Personally I really DON'T!!

Anyone have any extras that I could try? Greatly appreciated. I have 500x 250mg of Neurontin (Gabapentin) left over from my son. Respond to my email.

Good luck to you if something should happen to this person from taking your son's drugs as I'm sure the authorities won't look too kindly on the supplier of prescription medications to someone who's name is not on the bottle. Darryl. -- ------------------------------------------- To email, change daryl to darryl in address. ------------------------------------------- > I have 500x 250mg of Neurontin (Gabapentin) left over from my son. > Respond to my email. How utterly irresponsible of you!! Given the side effects that another poster has mentioned, if the OP suffered these s/he could very easily have a similar reaction which could prove fatal. There's no way of knowing if the OP does have epilepsy and if s/he does then there must be a good reason why his/her doctor isn't prescribing it. That reason could include an adverse reaction due to other conditions/medications. My son had 3 bottles of Orlept left over after it was discovered it actually caused him to have fits. I took them to the local pharmacy to have them destroyed. I suggest you get your son's excess medication destroyed at your local pharmacy as well. |
