Just adding another vote for U.S. OPs being legal. I would recommend using one that inisists on medical records before they schedule a consult. When they demand that, it shows that they are truly trying to be legal.

Also, your medical records are YOURS. You can request them and do not have to provide ANY reason for why you want them. They may request a small fee ($15 for me) to cover the gathering of records, copying/printing, labor, and shipping. I think that is reasonable. I would recommend ordering them as soon as possible, if you don't have them already. Mine took 3 weeks to arrive.

I believe that talking on the phone to a U.S. licensed doctor who has your medical records in front of him/her constitutes a "doctor-patient relationship", and that will enable him/her to legally prescribe Schedule III and IV (hydrocodone, valium, etc.) to you (the Rx will be filled through a U.S. pharmacy) as he/she deems appropriate for you. If all of this is done, I believe this is totally legal (for now).

Now you may be wondering which U.S. OP to use. Many people, including myself, have found Your Online Doctor (YOD) to be among the best. They are strict about medical records (I like that), their customer service is outstanding, and the pharmacy they use (Woody's) is reputed to have, for the most part, the lowest prices. And the pharmacy is well run, also. However, if you are looking for benzos (valium, etc.), YOD is not for you. They are known for prescribing low or no benzos. They are great for pain killers, though.

Alternate OPs that have had good reports are Fedxmeds, Eastern Valley Medical Group, and Norcoworldwide. That is a short list of some of the best that I have gathered after much reading. There are other good ones, too.

Definitely read over the U.S. Feedbacks, as they are very helpful, and may point you to the best OP for you if you have any particular situation or need.

I agree, IOPs are illegal. I, personally will not use those.

You can PM me if you need more help. Happy shopping
