Risks of Purchasing Depressants Online

97% of online pharmacies are considered unsafe according to the FDA. Prescription drugs that are purchased from rogue and illegitimate online pharmacies may be tampered with and contain dangerous ingredients that could be fatal.

The Drug Enforcement Administration recently issued an alert around an increase in overdose deaths related to counterfeit pills containing fentanyl. Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is 100 times stronger than morphine – as little as 2 milligrams can lead to a fatal overdose. The DEA has seized hundreds of thousands of counterfeit pharmaceutical pills, including those marketed as depressants, which look like real prescription drugs.

Depressant medications purchased from illicit pharmacies or sellers are often counterfeit and can lead to a serious and potentially fatal health risk. These counterfeit, or fake pills, can either contain the wrong ingredients or no active ingredients. It is also very common for these pills to contain potentially fatal levels of ingredients such as fentanyl.

How to Safely Purchase Depressants Online

Why depressants are typically prescribed

Prescription depressants, commonly known as Central Nervous System (CNS) depressants, are sedatives that can slow brain activity to treat a variety of disorders. Those who have anxiety problems will look for anti-anxiety medication, such as Xanax, to calm the mind. This can be useful for those who are prone to anxiety attacks and panic attacks. Depressants can be prescribed to treat anxiety, stress, and disorders like sleep and acute insomnia that can also be connected to pregnancy and postpartum.

Prescription depressants are not cures for any anxiety or similar related disorders such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). They only allow the prescription to manage their symptoms, so you can function throughout the day in the right state of mind. Please be sure to check with a medical professional to find out what is the right medication for you.
