From my "long history" going back to my age range 20 to 29 years old.......
#1 for me, was here in the USA with a prescription, by a "GP", or, PCP, or, by the late 1970's, finally by a prescription RX) by a Psychiatrist......
it was the USA version of brand name Roche Valium 10 mg embossed, on the blue pill, with a "Roche 6" on one side of the blue pill, scored on rear side,
(1971 to 1977)
by, the year 1977/1978, Roche changed the "embossment" of the "solid blue 10 mg pill" now to "Valium 10 Roche" on one side of the pill"
In my life of alcohol & prescription drug dependence, I was, completely "benzo/sedative/stimulant/ free from 1982 until, around the year 1994 !.
I only (then) realized there IMHO was a huge difference in the quality of international diazepam, from many sources, in the IOP world !!!
When I returned, eventually, for a replacement for my mid 1990's dependence on another benzo (USA Xanax 1mg, & USA Greenstone 2 mg bar) again
by prescription only, now only by a trusted USA Psychiatrist !!
I did get "one prescription for brand name Roche Valium, (May of 2009) it was filled at a very large urban independent pharmacy, in the SE USA
and, I did get the coveted "mona lisa" V cut out's of just 24 x 5mg (yellow) "engraved top center "5" then the big V cut out & engraved "Valium"
on the bottom of front side, (the rear side of these traditional yellow top pharmacy grade USA pills, were engraved on back side (scored side) twice
as Roche).....................written reluctantly by my long time family dentist, (with no refills!)...................the quality for these very expensive pills,
as my insurance company, would not pay one penny on a branded med that had numerous, generic alternatives ! the quality IMHO was EXCELLENT
"so much so" that the USA bona fide now RARE, V-Cut, 5 mg Valium, was as strong as all but, any 10 mg IOP allegedly Roche Valium or a generic
Diazepam allegedly all 10 mg, except one brand !!! by the way the NDC # in 2009 for 5 mg brand Valium was 00140-0005-01 supplied in a 100 count
bottle, Red Book rated "AB" and, with the 2010 price (AWP) for average wholesale price, was US $360.36 for one bottle on one hundred 5 mg pills !!
Source REDBOOK 2010 page 798. ( I do remember paying cash money, I estimate about US $3.60 per 5 mg pill) from the "foreward" on the 2009 &
the 2010 REDBOOK published by Thomson Reuters, (Healthcare) Inc states quote "
"AWP is calculated on a markup specified by the manufacturer. This markup is typically based on the Wholesale Acquisition Costs (WAC) or DIRECT PRICE
(DP) , as provided, by the manufacturer, but, maybe based, on other pricing data provided by the manufacturer" unquote. quote "when a MFG does
not supply a AWP (average Wholesale Price) a standard "20%" mark-up is applied over the manufacturer supplied, WAC (Wholesale Acquisition Cost) unquote
By the year 2009, I was honestly, "that was back into what became as my heavy use of the DrugBuyers dot com days.....began in 2004, later to right
here, with PR 2011 forward ) !!
My very last legal prescription, (Roche Valium) I got from a face to face consultation, from a Latin M.D. for a specific huge resort, in Puerto Vallarta, MX
in February of 2014, it was the real deal Roche Valium (solid all the way thru) delivered to my large resort hotel by a bonded courier, by the pharmacia
(the Latin M.D) trusted, as many PVR pharmacias cannot necessarily be trusted ! My delivered Roche Valium came in blisterpacks sealed tight in a Roche
taped box and with a unique multi-colored triple holiogram, on both the Roche clear tape, and the each Roche blister pack of ninety 10 mg Roche
Valiums, I kept the box as a souviner sp? it says Valium Diazepam 10 mg Caja con 90 comprimidos back side "Hecho en Mexico por: Productos of
Roche S.A. de C.V Col. Parque Industrial, C.P. 50030, Toluca, Mexico segun formula de: F Hoffman - La Roche, S.A. ............................on inside a
price sticker in MX pesos, says, $995.00 ( I paid the Latin MD a consult fee of $100.00 US and, paid the courier, who came with a hand held computer
like Hertz rent a car, to take my credit card, and I paid the courier a pre-agreed price of US 82.00 !! (turnaround time only about 2 hour for MD appt &
delivery from the courier from a PVR pharmacia ! One thing the MD "qualified me, as a two week resident of this unnamed huge resort hotel" as if not,
I am not 100% sure he may have not accommodated me so gracefully"..........he needed my suite number so the pharmacia courier could page me from
the lobby !! & call me in my hotel suite, etc etc. as a paying guest of this 4 star hotel !! Vin number X2747 (last 2 digits left out for security reasons)
Expiration date (received on 4 Feb 2014) expiration date on each blisterpack was 1 May 2018 ! loved those Roche Valium
@peppergirl @M77 !!
MX resort name, M.D name, pharmacia name, all omitted for personal reasons (security) ! (sorry).............( I may need to go back for a return trip) ha !
#2 The only non Roche Valium that I rank a tie for "number one" would be Krk@ Apaurin, in two boxes of blister strips, in the year 2009 (again) it was typed
on the box of each blister pack in English & later 2 boxes in Russian as Apaurin was marketed in Russia, as well as a Eastern EU country,
called in Russia "Anaypnh" taonetn Diazepamum (2 strips of 15 tabs each) 10 mg. KRK@ of S L O V E N I J @ great value for those blue 10 mg di@z !!
just my 2 cents worth, I have wasted much money over the last maybe 15 years, ordering MANY forms of Diaz & or Roche Diaz, and, most were at least
1/2 strength to even bathtub, & poor copies of any kind of popular diaz worldwide !! "Eastern EU countries have the best reputation in the here & now
for certain target specific Diaz" ! (just saying)....................just read the threads !!
Yes, I do have a very high benzo tolerance, that may alter things.............a great deal... IMO....................
yes, but some of my past experiments with either Roche V's or other allegedly non USA Diaz (some under protected tradenames) were so weak, I could
barely feel anything, (like taking 4 x 10 mg out of frustration) and getting no buzz at all, maybe my Gaba receptors are shot (as I age)...IDK anymore.....
but I will assure you Roche Diaz are one of the most counterfeited meds, in the world, the past 10 years...(along with the X bars & the ED med Viagra !!
Plus with the very weak or bunk Diazepam I often ordered (years 2008 to 2013) especially, " I never once got a benzo withdrawal from the diluted benzo's
alleged to be called a foreign Diaz, or a Bona Fide, Valium, from Argentina to Europe, to Asia, to the Philippines, etc !! AND I HAVE HAD THE BENZO
WITHDRAWAL FROM HELL, (1981-1982 AGAIN IN 1995/1996 !! needed both in patient & out patient treatment for both + a Seizure from real deal
Roche Valium in Florida in September of 1978 !!
