Just a quick thought.


Sadly Non NAL drinking tonight.

Gatekeeper I relied on usually gave me one to tie me over...No Way. "You abuser"

She won. I drank. How sad. It wont set me back too far...but still why deny...one day...so here's the rub, the y do allow one pill.

I go to the Pharmacy and they have my pill $10.99 for ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You need to get it etc etc etc etc et ce etvc

I am angry adn buzzed on 6 beers and herb,..so I wont go too crazy and expound as it simply is the result of my opioid up-regulation and serious hatred of mainstream. MY best, Jim

PS if you tsmers do this ...this isnt the end of your life,...don't worry,..Yeah it feels cool with upregulation. ,...damn Thankx Toni

Bummer Jim. For your sake, I wish you would have forced yourself to have an AF day without NAL. I don't want to see you lose any gains you have made and take longer to get where you want to be. Oh well, you'll be our latest test case, reporting back what, if any, effect that has. Good luck, my friend!

And BTW - $10.99 per pill, that is insane!?! This generic drug is supposed to be cheap, but does not seem cheap at all, even with a prescription. I last paid about $88 for 45 tablets, that seems very expensive. For a "cheap generic", I was expecting about $10 for 30 to 60 tablets. WTF?

Yep. This is the most expensive "generic" pill I've ever taken. I'm paying about $2.50/pill at CVS. But it's still cheaper than drinking.

Hey, I'm paying $5.50 a pill in Canada from my local pharmacy. I looked at a couple of Canadian on-line pharmacies and they were charging even more. If anyone knows of a cheaper source that can be ordered from Canada please let me know!

If you are able to do so you may want to check out Alldaychemist. I order 90 pills at a time and WITH the $25 shipping fee my total came to $176.20. It works out to 10 pills per package for $16.80. I have had excellent service and receive my order in 10-12 days so far. I hope this will help some of you out.

I just picked up 90 at Costco for $128.85, which comes out to $1.43 each. Of course, that only works if you can actually get a prescription. :roll:

Thanks y'all,

I'm sorry I was a bit irate last night. I'm a very sober 2 units in tonight at 12.41 AM.

I guess what frustrated me the most was the fact that they had helped me out in the past and I felt as though the "gatekeeper" The pharmacist, was enjoying the power she had denying me. I don't know,...but damn was I mad last night.

Tonight, with day 2 non NAL drinking, I don't feel as though I'm losing control or traction. Maybe its because being on NAL for a year, I've repaired my wires a little? Maybe now NAL has worked its magic and I'm more psychologically addicted? ANd as Eskapa says, if I continue without NAL within afew months I'll be back to where I was.....

I share this with you all because I want us all to get better and if I share this sad chapter, maybe that'll help someone else in my predicaMENT NOT TO FREAK OUT. But do not intentionally do non NAL drinking. I've been on NAL for over a year and will take it again the minute I get another scrip which I hope to get tomorrow. I will report my visit after tomorrows session, My Best, jim

So far, my insurance has picked it up at 10 bucks per refill. I'll cross my fingers and hope that this continues. As far as I know, this is an unpatented medicine that's cheap to make. Do I smell a conspircy?

River Pharm (I've read a LOT of people on here that buy from River) -

Discount on S&H for "each-step-higher" QTY -

Got mine today -

With discounted S&H for buying QTY #60 (rather than my "starting out fresh, scared, and only buying QTY #30 for this first time") . . . .


$169.59 Total for 60 tabs - shipping to H-Town, Texas (Houston) = $2.83 per pill

"Good or Not?" "Heck!" - I don't know . . . at least it is "my start."


Thanks,
WWC
