wannabeclean, I like that! great name, but you know you'll have to change it to just beclean one day! I have used it to detox and had success. Of course there could be a chance you will feel crapy, but it will take a day or two for that to leave your system as well. So that could be ten days. My guess is the worst will definitly be over! Besides, You kicked all that other stuff right? I'd say your pretty strong and if you got through that, you will get through this as well. I'm detoxing too, and so are so many others.

Sleep problems and runs I still have no energy and depressed. I have been taking Elival 25mg since 5/11 and will keep taking it. Can anyone give advice on what I should stay away from the last thing I want is a new addictionDrug abuse and dependence, I am going to the health store to find L-Tyrosine. I cant believe after all I went through I'm doing this again........ Ter

Just a comment: As far as Elavil is concerned, 25 mg is not very much. I used to take it years ago and took more. I just looked it up in a pill book, and it says that doctors might start a person on 75 mg a day in 2 doses. They might increase this to 150 mg a day. They usually don't prescribe more than 200 mg a day. and "For long term use, the usual dose ranges from 40 mg to 100 mg a day usually at bedtime." but maybe you looked this up yourself already. Good luck getting through it! Hope you get some good advice from the others1

What is Buprenex? Is it BuprenorphineBuprenorphine
Buprenorphine-naloxone? How does it help a detox? How long do you stay on it to detox?

Thanks

In answer to your question:

I have a question about all of the pharmacies being nationally linked--Are you telling me that EVERY pharmacy in America is linked together via a "superSuper calcium computer" and a pharmacist from a Wal-Mart has acccess to my records even though I had my scripts filled at a local Mom & Pop pharmacy?  I know some of the national chains--Walgreens for instance are all linked together (nationally)  But I find it hard to believe that a Wal-Mart Pharmacy can access the medical records of a patientKidney diet - dialysis patients doing business with say an Eckard's pharmacy--Also as of April 14, 2003 strick new privacy guidelines have been implemented known as (HIPAA) with regard to a patientsKidney diet - dialysis patients' right to privacy and the release of medical information and who has access to this information--All medical facilities including pharmacies are required to follow HIPAA guidelines--I agree that rx fraud is illegal and I am by NO MEANS promoting the use of multipleMultiple myeloma

Back strain treatment in Cda for about 5-6, here there is a nat'l d-base. I should say, it might be provincial but our provinces are HUGE so you'd have to take your dogsled on a year long voyage to get to another province.



Here's how it works for ANY scrip.  If it's a 1st time scrip for you at pharm, pharmacist needs to see your Medical Card, which every citizen has for our free not-alwsys-very-helpful med. care.  (Oh, my evil twin!)  You also need to produce picture ID, like a DL & everything including your brassiere size is input in the computer.



For EVERY scrip to be filled, including folicFolate deficiency
Folic acid
Folic acid - test
Folic acid and birth defect prevention acid, pharm. slams info onto the computer for approval which usually takes secs.  However, if you're a day early, or another doc has prescribed it - OO, they will not fill it, except if it's my synthroid & only if pharmacist really knows me. (Needless to say, they DO!) I'd already figured out as much but my neuro prescribed me my fiorinalFiorinal
Fiorinal with codeine as my GP was out of town so I didn't see any prob.  PROB.  I was so mortified!  Also, only your GP can prescribe meds.  Here, to see a specialist you must be referred by GP & wait 18-24 mos. (no ****, in most cases) to see said specialist.  If it's urgent, he will write your short-term scrip & pops off a ltr to your GP who is then in charge of your meds.



Pharm. are even more anal about controlled substancesDrug abuse, narcoticsDrug abuse etc. I think that's why I had the prob with the F that time.



I'm certain there must be a way around this but I've never been motivated enuf to try & probably even more scared.  It's just not a line I could ever cross.



I can only figure if the Canadians are smart enuf to figure this out, I'd imagine the Americans are, to say the least!  Undoubtedly, in your country, privacy issues are undoubtedly still being bandied about, diff. insurance co.'s can add to complicating factorsFactor ix complex & with so many states with differing regulations (I know F is a nothing drugChemical dependence - resources
