Insulin ? and those who use it.

**Kahuna** · 02-08-2004, 06:49 PM

Is insulin legal to buy otc in California? In some states it is without a stript. Also, I've done my research on it but I want to know from the people who have used it what they experienced when on insulin. Good or bad.
Thanks.

I got all my information about insulin on basskilleronline and the author mentioned the availability of insulin otc. Need to know if I can get it here in California or am I going to have to go down to TJ and do some sightseeing.

I just told the guy at the pharmacy I was a diabetic and didn't have insurance..Seems a bit cheesy, bit it worked. I'm not sure in Cali. but I can't see it being illegal, but ya never know.

For humalog you will need a script when purchasing in the US according to the article but for humulin R you don't. Thing is I need to know if humulin R is available without a stript in California.
Thanks for all the replies, I can always count on the brethern at AR.

Mahalo whiteykauai. Sounds like you've got some experience with the slin. What kinds of results did you get while on it?

Humalin R is available everywhere in the US without a script to my knowledge, and works great for what you want it for. Humalog can be a bit much for some people, as it "hits" you really fast, and can be more of a rush than Humalin R which tends to be a little littel less harsh.

I've used both, and didn't like the intense feeling of the Humalog. I prefer the Humalin R for its smoother "hit", that doesn't come on as fast or leave as fast. Other than that, there's really no difference between the two.

If you haven't read it yet, I suggest reading the insulin .txt thread in the educational forum.

call the pharmacist and ask, it can't hurt, then get a sweet lookin' girl to go get it. I'm still on the R, but only 10iu's on training days, gained a bit of fat but that was to be expected. replaces pump of AS which is nice to have when not cycling. all in all i've gained a bit of weight but haven't gone real heavy. good stuff.

***BajanBastard*** · 02-08-2004, 08:58 PM

same here bro. 10 iu postworkout 60g protein, 60g simple sugars and 30 complex carbs 1 hour later 60g protein, 80-100g complex carb low fat meal. not bad. i was doin 20 iu but man fat found my ass like a heatseeker but u get a really good pump. IMO best 2 use on cycle not off cuz the anabolic effect wasnt that great.

Like was posted above, the longer window of activity of R means a longer period you need to avoid fats. Humalog has a well defined activity window...because of that, I think it's better. Canadian pharmacies are online and ship to the US, by the way. No script necessary for humalog in Canada.

if I can't post that, please remove it.
