I'm on testosterone... this means vial of controlled substance and syringes and needles. Any guys one this? How do s DOT handle it being in he truck? It's a weekly thingnsonit absolutely must be with me at all times.
Not a big deal at all... just carry a note from your doc saying it will not interfere with your driving ability. As long as the prescription is in your name it's the same as having an antibiotic in the eyes of the law. I doubt you're doing daily injects, so why not just run regional and leave it at home? I would hate to have a muscle twitch and break off the needle in my thigh when I'm 300miles from the nearest hospital and all. You can also swap to a long ester and only need injects every other week, unless you're using a Sustanon blend I don't really see why would need to pack gear.
As long as you keep the syringes and the bottle of the injectable with the paper from the pharmacy you should be okay, as long as the dates are reasonable. But have you talked with you Dr. about topical testosterone? The brand name (testeem??) is expensive (maybe $300 per month) but many urologists have 'deals" with compounding pharmacy's where it is cheaper, one I used was like $60 per month. And the pharmacy would mail it to my house. Rub a small dab on the shoulder daily instead of a weekly shot. Blood level stays a little steadier also.
I've been on it so long and I was a medical assistant, I'm not worried about he logistics of the injections themselves. It's an approved drug with the fmsca, do I really need a note from my doc? Also I'm transgender, topical doesn't work as well because I have no natural source for the hormone, it all comes from the injection. I'll be home weekly after training, but I'll be gone for 6 weeks at first. Sooooo it's gotta come with.
Anytime it is a controlled substance you have to get a note from the prescribing doc and have them state that they are aware of your occupation and they feel it will not impair your driving in any way. Just show the note to your DOT physical doc, and carry the note with you along with your gear. 99.9% of the time no one will care, but a random search at a border checkpoint and they will want to see that note. People hop over to Juarez or Nuevo Laredo to buy gear all the time, and the pharmacies will make it look legit, so they want to see that note from an American doc or else they will hold you up for hours verifying everything is legal.
Odd question, but if you're transgender how do you combat the estrogen conversion rates without decimating your liver by taking a ton of aromatase inhibitors?
I no longer have ovaries, it's a non issue. Prior to that, my doc was careful about dosage for that reason.
And there it is........Why the need to put that out there? Do we really need to know? Personally, I could care less, but why the need to make it public?
