Internet Drug Sales

[Marce4]

While I know the FDA is cracking down on Internet sales of narcotics, I was just curious if many of you have purchased your drugs that route.  It has been over a year since I bought meds online....tried to hide this from my hubby but he found out early on (How can you hide $600/month?)  I can't believe how much money I have saved our family....wow...how selfish was I!  This "drug money" could have covered the kids school tuition, car insurance and mortgage.....We are finally back on our feet but I can't believe how close we came to financial ruin...all due to my addiction!  This post really has no point except to highlight how crazy and destructive the cycle of addiction is to ourselves and the well being of our families!  I still occasionally get calls from people who I believe are part of the internet sales that say "Your Hydrocodone is ready to be refilled"  I now tell them, (or my husband tells them when he answers the phone) that I am an addict and I don't want to be contacted by them ever again!  They still call but the calls have become much less frequent.  
Does anyone have any similar experience?
Thanks for listening (or reading I should say)!

I melted two credit cards on internet narcotics but you already knew that

I came so close to buying online...I had my info entered, credit card numbers, but I freaked and closed out of it....quit cold turkey with in a week...close call...I still get all those junk mail offers just to "f" with me!  GRRRRRR.

Yes, and I believe I spent somewhere around $30,000 from ordering over internet. Not to mention what I spent on doctor shopping!

It seems so helpful and convenient at the time, but what a mess that can result.  I had a friend I went through nursing school with.  She started ordering Hydrocodone, and had her doc. presribing some other meds.  I don't think her doc. knew about the Hydrocodone, although her husband and I both tried to talk to him about our concern for her.  The combo. of meds., her addiction, and probably an undiagnosed mental illness, all led to the kids and husband being left in the dust, losing a home, an affair with a co-dependent dude, loss of all relationships, violence, crime, prison, and now, I don't even know where she is.  

She was able to get whatever she wanted, whenever she wanted, had unlimited resources (at least for a while), and was able to order the same meds. from several companies at once.  At the time, about 5 years ago, she told me it cost about $150 for 30 pills, but I know she was getting more than that.  I'm so sorry for her, her children, and her husband.

Yes, I use online. Norco 7.5 mg 60 pills for $105.00. If it were'nt for an online supply I would not have this addiction.

I'm in WV and the attorney general stopped some internet companies from shipping here.
It was easy to find a few that would ship. I'm 65 days free of tramadol and hydros and getting the credit card debt paid off.

my hydro starting online, started like most, just 90 pills every few months and then started to take more and more, i had several places i was ordering online and then a couple of them shut down and starting buying the extra's from a dealer(paying 8 dollars a pce for them) today is my first day without them, i started on suboxone this morning, i still feel pretty bad, but i was taking over 500 mg per day. i also had to stop or  loose everything i have worked for, i was fortunate, to have money but after spending over 120 thousand dollars in just one year, i will soon be broke, i can look back and just wish i could change things, 2 years ago, i had enough money to stop working, now i will be looking for a job, any job, after i get through this withdarwal. i really just want to sleep right now, but i know it will come,(ihope) also want to say thanks for this board, reading it made me take the first step yesterday and see a doc about this.

Unfortunately I have ordered meds online.  I purchased tramadol a few times, tried to hide it also and my hubby found out last year, I think I paid $100 for 180 trams. I also purchased some pure hydrocodone that came from Costa Rica-$440 for 90 7.5mg. What a waste of money, could have used it for my family last year. I also got many emails reminding me it was time to reorder and a few phone calls. I also told them to stop calling me, i don't want to purchase their meds anymore.  Stay away from meds online. I hate that somthing so small can ruin a person and their family.  Lucky for me my husband is still with me and trying to help with my addictions. -zoe

Never went that route...probably would have been cheaper tho...in the past and glad i didnt know about it...i remember googling it once and was scared to try it...lack of money is one reason i quit tho...i am so frugal and i can not stand to waste money...it was a big motivator for me...of course being addicted and waking up in WDs every morning helped too!  LOL

[avisg]

Yes I did as well.Mine was very easy to come by being its not a narcotic ....I believe its much cheaper too then the hydro and the oxys .I think that is another reason a lot of people have such a hard time getting off tramadol.
