In response to the above thread, it occurred to me that I have a small stockpile of SSRIs like Paxil, Zoloft & Prozac. Since I have a small family, some of us have been prescribed these at different times. I normally get all refills filled just in case someone runs out and or is without insurance. I recall the negative side effects when I once stopped taking SSRis after a long time.
So my question is would it be kosher to list said SSRIs in the Black Market to see if anyone needs them for free? As I am sober & in recovery, I do not advocate or encourage any recreational drug use or medication abuse of any kind. I also do not agree with the health care bureaucracy that exists in the US and think that people with longterm needs should have access to medications and not be restricted by weekly/monthly visits & prescriptions. As there are no euphoric effects of taking SSRIs and after reading this post, I figured perhaps it could be a helpful idea. Perhaps others too have had similar issues & or similar surpluses? If fellow travelers who are unsure about how their mental health will do on the road & without meds, this may be a beneficial idea if it doesnt put STP in any sort of legal predicament.
Has this topic been discussed & or have medications ever before been available in the Black Market? I normally subscribe to "its better to beg forgiveness than ask permission" theory but it seems better to ask the Mods/Admins if it is ill advised or violates our rules.
