Venting My doctor refuses to prescribe metoclopramide

[KillingPain267]

I told her I have severe nausea (admittedly a lie) from starting a new antidepressive. She said the anti-emetic she could prescribe may cause worsening of depression.

I am so pissed and having a bad day

It's so dumb that it's easier to get SN than it is getting anti-emetics. Street dealers don't even sell it.

I understand why you'd feel so frustrated but anyway I hope that you eventually find what you search for, best wishes.

Meto is actually a relatively high risk drug for its purpose. I've always been surprised at how easily people are able to get it on here. It's definitely not the anti nausea of choice for most prescribers and I think most doctors would want to try a lower risk anti nausea even if a patient asked for meto specifically.

Doctors have basic rules to follow. Do not prescribe something that will cause a worsening of the underlying condition.
Look for other options.

Same. I ended up ordering from an indian pharmacy that another member used successfully. That's probably where you're gonna have to look next - an online pharmacy that ships without a prescription.

Do you know if it ships to EU countries? Can you DM me the name of the site?

I got prescribed it when I had gallstones. I'm actually quite surprised that they didn't tell me the side effects. Not that I experienced any of them- thankfully. I suppose I must have read them on the leaflet but figured they were probably low risk. I think I may have just put up with feeling sick if I'd read it properly!

But, I couldn't believe my luck when I read it in the SN regiment. They are years out of date. That's the only thing. Do you think they'd still work, just maybe be slightly less potent? I doubt they'll prescribe me more now. I think my welfare check (because of IC SN) went on my record. I bet they are wary of that too now- if people have any history of attempts.

I couldn't find anything about it, except most sites saying not to use medications that are past due date. But I don't trust anything official sites say anymore. They exaggerate risks of certain side effects (probably to avoid being sued, not out of care for patients).

Yes- I think you're right. I think it's mostly to generate more cash for the big pharmaceutical companies. There are of course certain medications that can become dangerous to take beyond their expiry date but I think the majority of them simply lose some of their potency. Kind of like 'best before' dates as opposed to 'use by' dates on food. That's my hope anyway...

Most medications past their date aren't dangerous, but they degrade over time so they become less and less potent. If something is far enough out of date it may degrade to the point of being pretty useless. I'd be more wary of taking out of date liquid medications for the risk of possible bacteria growth.

Maybe look into acquiring the "animal" form of meto online. Same drug, differing dosages.
