Hate to to the bearer of bad news, but Dr. Levin has lost the ability to prescribe anything out of state. It appears he got into some trouble with California/Washington, and his attorney is advising him to stop filling out-of-state prescriptions. Current prescriptions with refills should be refillable (I refilled mine last night), but it doesn't look like refill requests or new prescriptions will be authorized. Figured I'd make everyone aware so they can make arrangements sooner than later. :sigh:

Spigot, what makes you think that? There have been earlier false rumours. -
Urgent: Dr. Levin can no longer prescribe baclofen
Unfortunately, this is not a false rumor. You can contact Dr. Levin yourself and verify if you'd like.
Just got off the phone with him. He says it's 'temporary' but has no timeframe for when he'll be able to prescribe again, and suggests contacting a local doctor.Comment

I called him today, too. He is unable to prescribe, in general, out of state. He says he has some flexibility depending on the state. I wouldn't (and am not) counting on it. Hopefully we can work together to make sure that everyone keeps their supply steady and doesn't need to take drastic reductions.Comment

How do we do that?? I was actually about to call him tonight! What a shockingly perfect timing... So now that my psychiatrist and I dumped each other, I can only order online - which I just found out is pretty much illegal -and spend 6 times as much, till by some miracle I find another doc where i live willing to prescribe ...?Ne/Neva Eva;1544298 wrote: I Hopefully we can work together to make sure that everyone keeps their supply steady and doesn't need to take drastic reductions.

Found out the same thing the other day - very dismayed. Does anyone have any tips for a guy with no current physician/doctor relationship to get a prescription in the Louisville, KY area?Comment

You can get baclofen from
1) overseas sources,
2) liquid stuff which seems legit,
3) a local doc which may prescribe up to 80 mg/day.
A doc can't prescribe out-of-state to many people he has never met, and not expect to be investigated. He doesn't even know much about bac ("no side effects") and has no background in pharmaceuticals.
At his age, I expect him to "voluntarily" retire rather than to have his medical license revoked.Comment

Right but, correct me if I am wrong: 80/day would very rarely be enough to hit the switch, right?
Also, what exactly do you mean by 'legit'?
I know I can order online. I was just trying to get a doc to supervise me. It's not exactly candies we are taking.
For what it's worth, I just called dr. Levin: he was having trouble with is pc and could not stay on the phone, as he needed to send an important document asap. He asked to call him back tomorrow, at which point I asked if he'd be able to help me even if I am in Florida. He did not say no. He said we would have to talk about it in detail and that he could not do it right away but on a different occasion - he really needed his PC to work... I don't know what to think...Comment

4) a local doc (psychiatrist or neurologist) who can prescribe off-label to the required dosage, which just might be over 80mg/day see: High-dose oral baclofen: experience in patients with MS..

Most real docs will not give you more than 80/day, and you will be lucky to find one who will prescribe even that for alcoholism. It is considered a fringe treatment. Yeah, yeah, call the AMA, the government, whatever, but that isn't going to change for a while.zampa75;1544354 wrote: Right but, correct me if I am wrong: 80/day would very rarely be enough to hit the switch, right?

From what I read here, I think the liquid baclofen is prob. the best way to get HDB. It is legit in that the bac is real, and you will get what you order. It is a different matter from if HDB is the drug for you.
Twenty years ago, my PC was hooked up to my phone line. I didn't know that is still done now.Comment

An up to date list of reliable online pharmacies. That thread is ancient and doesn't have the information that I think will be the most useful.

A script for 80/day will drastically reduce the cost, even if you order more online.Comment
