Bulk tranylcypromine is actually way cheaper than buying the tablets. I used to buy 5g for $65, then they jacked up the price to 5g for $122, which I no longer was able to afford after a while. As it turns out, a friend is going to be buying phenelzine in bulk, I think, so I will probably be switching to that, eventually. I may actually take both together in lower dosages so that I can have some of the dopaminergic effects from the tranylcypromine. I am going to try a number of DA agonists first (primarily for sex issues) before I go that cavalier route, though.

30mg/day of parnate is 0.9g/month, just to illustrate the profound difference. If one were to broker a kilogram or more of tranylcypromine from an actual manufacturer, and not a research chemical supply house, it would be many times cheaper than that.

When one buys medication, one is buying a chemical, plain and simple. It is my right to get that chemical from wherever I want to unless it is a controlled substance or a watched chemical. I do not AGREE with those laws, but I observe them. There is no law stating I cannot possess tranylcypromine powder, and I felt a tremendous sense of glee knowing that I was taking tranylcypromine while avoiding funding GlaxoSmithKline, whose board of directors answer only to Satan, IMO. Notice the lack of "H" in IMO there. ;)

$0.72 per 10mg of a drug which was FDA-approved in 1961. Sure GSK, I will gleefully pleasure the organ of your choice! Yeah, right! Oh, yeah, I forgot, those R&D costs, that's why it cost so much ...

How dare they so usurously price such an old drug which is obviously only used as a LIFESAVER for those with treatment-resistant depression, etc.! And it's only cyclicized amphetamine; there was no "drug discovery" technology or anything involved.
