Hi guys,
Does anyone know where can I get Prednisone or dexamethasone ?
I can't find these anywhere.
Thanks.

Ludo-v,
I've ordered from ttm and drugpillsmart. Drugpillsmart.com has prednisolone? or something that is an equivalent. Not to sound paternal but I would truly be careful with this drug. You really need to take it correctly. It can mess up your immune system among several other nasty side effects. Good luck.

Have you tried asking a doctor for a prednisone script? I don't think it has any recreational value, which greatly increases the odds of getting this written.Be sure you explain your reasoning and situation for needing it.
Although, I can understand if you don't have the insurance/funds to cover an office appointment.
Off-topic, but....
My dog was prescribed prednisone for a severe skin irritation as a result of being allergic to flea saliva. Poor thing breaks out and itches like nuts if she's outside in the woods for an extended period of time, despite having flea medication, and receiving minimal contact with fleas (i never see any when I bathe her)

Yes I know it has side effects and stuff, thanks for your concerns, but it's intended for a short term use only.
Thanks, I'm going to do some research on prednisolone, seems pretty similar to the other two but apparently shorter acting.Â

I can't ask a doctor for such thing, because oral dexamethasone is not available here (only topical) and prednisone is expensive (also, only available in XR form, no idea why)
I'm not intending to get it for recreational use, tho I've read that it can cause euphoria, it apparently works pretty good for breathing problems (asthma and similar illnesses).

I get it at PetMeds dot com for my kitty with asthma. We had a prescription and the website said they needed to call the vet when I ordered. However, the receptionist and DVM at the vet never heard from them. The meds we got work really good for kitty's asthma. It supposedly works by lowering the immune system to allergens that trigger asthma. So, the side effects aren't a joke as my cat can't get any live vaccines and we have to keep him inside. But, again the asthma is controlled.
For asthma in humans, albuterol works way better. I have asthma and it's what I take, it's a vasodilator that helps the lungs get more air. What asthma med you need depends on what kind of asthma you have. Maybe a check in with a GP is in order, if possible. Then you can decide where to procure what he tells you is best.

Ahh, so solid info there regard the action of prednisone! I'd heard it was used to treat asthma, but I was baffled as to why. I now know why it's labeled so heavily with warnings.
In regards to recreational use, you'd be manic to knowingly try to buzz off something that suppresses your immune system. I read anecdotal reports on other websites of people claiming a buzz from using albuterol. I wish people spent more time reading about what they're getting into. Knowing is safety, hell it's survival for many!
If only society would further embrace harm reduction methods and seriously treat substance abuse as the disease it is. Sometimes, you've got to keep your demons in sight to ensure they remain at bay.
Please read, read, read, read, as we all know, knowledge is power.
That'd be all for now,

PM'd you - I know you can't respond to PMs yet, but I have experience with both Prednisolone (prescribed for bad gout attacks in my 30's and 40's due to being overweight and drinking too much alcohol) and Prednisone (prescribed along with BP meds and anti-collagatories after my heart attack and subsequent diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension), so I am very familiar with both drugs and their side effects. Hope the information I sent via PM helps.

-CrystallineCrusader I won't say I never do rec drugs but yeah I know this one is not recreational and so that's not the reason I get it for.

Hi, yes I've received your PM thanks for the informations, wish I could reply !
Unfortunately as they have 25 dollars shipping fee I'll have to wait until I can make a bigger order.
