Rosie can't get Xanax

oops the link

Rosie O’Lesbo is a BULLY

[quote]Are psyc meds as available in Europe as they are here?

People in the US are famously overprescribed compared to just about any other country, especially if they're loaded. Psychiatrists are more conservative in Europe, in the sense that you actually need a mental condition to get appropriate medication. Just being a celeb doesn't quite cut it.

Will Jodie be the next lesbian to move abroad?

As far as I know, prescriptions from a US doctor are valid in European countries. I have an expat friend who has no trouble getting her Xanax in Italy.

OP- Maybe her real problem is she can't get PUSSY.

R5 It's possible that your friend knows of a pharmacy that will do this, however it isn't legal. Unless that American doctor is also licensed as a physician in an EU country, his prescriptions would not be valid in Italy. However, any prescription prescribed by an EU doctor is legal in any EU country. Not every EU country will necessarily have the same medications available so that can be a limiting factor.

You can always find a corrupt doctor, but it’s not handed out like candy, like in the US.

Europe is very, very behind when it comes to mental health.

R9 How so? I am definitely not one of those people that believs everything in Europe is better than the US, but looking online, it seems they definitely have the US beat when it comes to providing mental health care. This seems to be especially true in Northern Europe, but is also largely true in Europe as a whole. I am really interested in why you believe they are very, very behind.

Mental Health Conditions and Substance Use: Comparing U.S. Needs and Treatment Capacity with Those in Other High-Income Countries

I checked to see if my prescription anti-depressant is available in Panama, and it isn't. In fact, it is only sold in two countries: the US and Canada. But as much as I don't want to feed the Bezos machine, you can get it sent to you by Amazon if you have a doctor's prescription.

Good to know!

What America Can Learn From The Mental Health Care Systems Of Other Countries

R12 SL, I'm a retired pharmacist. What medication are you taking. They likely have something comparable even if not exactly the same.

Obviously, Ireland isn't working as planned. She's still a fraught mess. She needs to join a nunnery and get away from the internet, social media, politics, and other leftist lesbians if she is to survive.

R14, it's nefazodone, and I've been on it for 25 years @ 400mg. in the evening. Teva stopped making it during Covid, claiming they couldn't get the ingredients, and the few of us still taking it freaked out (there was a Facebook group). I tapered off over a six-month period, but I was a train wreck, and I had "anxiety attacks" when, before, I never truly knew what the word "anxiety" meant.

If there's anything like it out there, I sure don't know about it, and believe me, I've "done my own research." But I'm certainly open to suggestions. I decided on nefazodone (Serzone) many years ago because it makes me sleepy, and I am an insomniac on top of the depression. I briefly considered Remaron, because they say that makes you sleepy as well, but it also makes you gain weight, as if I need help doing [italic]that[/italic].

BTW, I found this funny, freaky, and extremely informative website very helpful over the years. Maybe you've seen it?

Looking forward to your recommendation! TIA

Wherever you go, there you are!

R13 learn to get your eyes examined? Is that the point?

R16 how’s your liver? That’s why it’s hard to find.

R17, you're "in the program," aren't you?

This is all bullshit. benzodiazepines such as Xanax are available at the standard nominal charge. But you do need the double prescription, because it is a controlled substance due to its potential for dependence and misuse. Rosie can get it and for peanuts but she needs to start seeing a PSYCHIATRIST who will judge if long term use is constructive. And Europe is not "behind the usa in mental health". Preposterous. Europe will even take care of its basket cases. Very rare in the USA.

A link to a study or a reference that supports your ridiculous claim, R9.

I wouldn’t take benzodiazepines unless absolutely necessary. She should see it as a blessing in disguise.

Oh there won't be one because it isn't true R22.

European countries have much better health systems which deliver much better and much less expensive health outcomes that the US health system. There are PLENTY of studies and references and links proving this over decades and decades.

Xanax is risky for older adults. My doc will only give me 10 pills at a time and no automatic refills I use it for air travel.

And if anyone fits the definition of old, it’s Rosie.

R16 SL, There isn't really anything else exactly like nefazodone. The closest would be trazodone. Nefazodone was discontinued in most countries due to liver toxicity. That's probably not going to be an issue for you if you've been on it for 25 years and your AST/ALT (liver transaminases) have been in the normal range or you would have immediately been taken off of it. If nefazodone ends up being discontinued in the US because it's no longer profitable to make (it's been off patent for years), you might want to try trazodone as an alternative. Trazodone is actually more sedating than nefazodone so it would definitely help with insomnia. Trazodone is very frequently prescribed just as a sedative for sleep even in patients without depression. Given how long you have been on nefazodone, I'd just stick with it unless it becomes no longer an option.

She should have moved to Mexico if she needed a steady drug supply.

This is so typically Rosie. The woman is filthy rich and can get anything she wants, including copious amounts of Xanax. She thinks we are all here to commiserate with Poor Rosie and her faux problems, traumas and dramas. She continues to be on big, fat joke of a person.

I don’t think she has long to live.

Thanks, R27. I tried trazodone, and it gave me horrible nightmares. But it was a nice thought.

I've already resigned myself to being on this stuff for the rest of my life (or for as long as I can still get it), so I'll either get it from Amazon or set up a mail forwarding service out of Miami and get it forwarded from there.

Wish me luck, because I was a mess without it.

Do they have compounding pharmacies in Panama? Maybe one can formulate it.

Crazy is in your head. If you is in America or Ireland, the crazy is still in your head.

Don’t bother with R9, she still pledges her allegiance to the Marketing Flag every morning, believing she isn’t living in a shithole that’s becoming more and more dystopian by the day.

Poor old dear.

Well, you often kinda do the same thing here about Holland/EU/Europe. Pot meet kettle.

Except in Dutchie’s case, he’s not wrong, R34.

God help Ireland if that crazy angry bulldyke doesn't find her meds.

I love how insane those eyeglasses are at r1. She looks completely nuts.

[quote] And if anyone fits the definition of old, it’s Rosie.

??

She's not even officially a senior citizen yet. She's 62.

To Eva Marie Saint, she's a mere infant.

[quote] How so? I am definitely not one of those people that believs everything in Europe is better than the US, but looking online, it seems they definitely have the US beat when it comes to providing mental health care.

They don’t. They are extremely behind and they ban medications based on feeling and innuendo rather than science. They still have the mentality that you should only see a psychiatrist if you’re being taken out in a straitjacket. Yes, the US overprescribes but Europe has very little statistics because people don’t get referred to psychiatrists. It’s an ongoing problem.

I do't begrudge anyone psychiatric medications in general, but Rosie should find a psychiatrist who can prescribe something less addictive than Xanax to manage her anxiety. That's just asking for trouble,

R8 I am definitely NOT the person saying that Europe is behind in mental health care (quite the opposite is true), however bezodiazepine (drugs like Xanax) misuse/over-prescribing is not purely an American phenomenon. Europe is at least as guilty. Not everything is America = bad, Europe = good.

It's heavily linked to Alzheimer's

R42 That is one of those situations where it is very difficult to extrapolate cause and effect. Anxiety and sleep disturbance are often early signs of Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia. Those are the people most likely to seek out and be prescribed benzodiazepines for those symptoms.

I feel bad for her circle. Medicated Rosie is hard enough, I can’t imagine an unmedicated one.

R44 Having to be around Rosie should be an FDA labeled indication for Xanax.

^^^You read my mind. I was wondering how many people she (and Ellen) have driven to Xanax (or alcohol) addiction during her career.

[quote] She's 62.

So was Colton Ford and that didn't turn out well.

Did Colton Ford's age have much to do with his dying? That seems not proven.

It surely didn’t help the old Leatherback.

Those of you making uninformed and unsubstantiated commentary about what happens in “Europe” do realise that “Europe” isn’t a country, don’t you? Of course you don’t.

It comprises 44 countries and some territories depending on the definition, but by all means continue to make sweeping statements about 44 countries and try not to look like an ill-educated fool.

Exactly who is R50 referring to?

Those of you making uninformed and unsubstantiated commentary about what happens in “the U.S.” do realiZe that “the U.S.” is a federal republic, don’t you? Of course you don’t.

It comprises 50 states and multiple territories depending on the definition, but by all means continue to make sweeping statements about 50 states and try not to look like an ill-educated fool.

I said, "Hold the mustard and gimme the Xanax!"

Nice try R52 but we all know the truth.

We are speaking about Ireland in relation to wealthy Europe. Ireland's Nominal GDP per capita: approximately $107,243, placing Ireland 3rd globally. Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) GDP per capita: Around $133,550, ranking Ireland 3rd worldwide. Rosie can GET Xanax, if it's medically advisable. Every European country does have cultural differences in how doctors practice medicine.

Thank you for that final sentence, R55, which will sadly go over most posters’ heads, based on this thread.

she lost a lot of weight from ozempic or similar injection...maybe hers is another name
