Subject: source to find compounding pharmacies in your area

Hi--I used a compounding pharmacy when I tapered from Klonopin. He

made the K in liquid form and I could make very small cuts more often

toward the end. It worked fine--I had my choice of flavors :)

For those of you thinking of doing the compounding thing, I highly

recommend it--it made all of the difference in the world to me. I

got these phone numbers from my compounding pharmacist--call and they

will give you the names of compounders in your area in the US,

Canada, as well as internationally. Good luck.

International Assoc. of Compounding Pharmacists 800-927-4227

Professional Compounding Centers of America 800-331-2498

PS: That "compounding pharmacist" who told you it was illegal is

obviously NOT a compounding pharmacist or he would have never told

you that. There are many people who because of certain medical

conditions, have to have their med compounded--there is nothing

illegal about this practice. Call somewhere else! I live in a city

where there is a medical school, I would think that most cities with

medical schools and teaching hospitals would have to have access to

compounding pharmacies.

Again---good luck!
