Last time I looked at a dark web drug site I saw them selling fucking anxiety and bipolar drugs, at really good rates too but you had to buy in bulk
And you don't know if that's what you're actually getting, or if it's fentanyl mixed with rat poison.
Much of the tine they're Indian pharmaceuticals which are easier to obtain, but still highly faked. There are reaction agent results for all the major medications, but sometimes the binders do interfere with them even if legitimate.
Typically these sellers operate through trust and reputation, and only a fool doesn't test their drugs before consuming
Do they make test kits for prescription psych meds? My friend has had pretty great experiences on the dark net with recreational drugs, but occasionally it's not what it claims to be. That could be disastrous with psych meds..
Somebody makes them, I'm sure. Whether or not they're available for your Average Joe to purchase... no idea
So usually not unless you have a chem student roommate, at that point they can directly test and see if the compounds they expect to be there are there, but that's not feasible, so what you would do is just check to make sure it doesnt have anything that we can test for, like fentanyl, opioids, amphetamines, if you test using a normal test kit and don't find anything harmful, that's usually a good sign.
Again though yeah, there is risk involved but some people are willing to take that risk to get what they need
The problem with that is that by not having what it's supposed to have, some people's lives can be completely derailed. That's why I don't think it's worth the risk. They wouldn't know they're not getting what they need until it was far too late. I have an old friend who has been on prescription medication since high school. He has ended up in prison literally every single time he has gone off his meds. He goes into an extreme manic mode where he disconnects from reality and thinks he's Jesus, or one of his many other delusions. In his mind that means he can do no wrong and he starts doing all sorts of wrong, which leads to his arrest and imprisonment within a few weeks of him going off his meds. It's pretty crazy how fast he deteriorates.
Yeah it's not a good situation, and unfortunately without a stable infrastructure for people getting what they need, some people , especially those with mental illness feel this is the only avenue available to them
