That's really scary! People definitely shouldn't ever buy medications from the internet that need a prescription.

^Or only buy from reputable online pharmacies that can do an online prescription or check health records with your gp.

That’s really sad about Alex .

It highlights how mental health care in this country is seriously failing many people and the desperate and dangerous/risky routes people are going down

I can usually get diazepan from my doctor quite easily,
any time my back has went wonky he's prescribed it,
but it's a drug that turns you into a lazy lethargic mess,
definitely wouldn't recommend it for alleviating anxiety, or for very much really,
It gives you a decent night's sleep, that's about all I'd say.

Sounds scary.

I only take things that are prescribed from my doctor and bought at genuine pharmacies.

Very sorry to read this tragic account. I’ve been on a low-dose benzodiazepine for a long time, along with an SSRI, to treat SAD, panic disorder, and dysthymia. Fortunately I’m able to get the medications with a prescription and from a regular pharmacy. I understand the desperation that a person would feel if he or she couldn’t get them this way.
