Question: does anyone get medication from overseas WITHOUT a prescription? I only take one medication. In a few months, I will run out of Requip, a prescription I take for restless leg. Bottom line - I need 3-5 months more of it WITHOUT going to the doc to get a written prescription. If I go to the doc, my health insurance company(self-employed) won't change me from their high rates next year to lower rates. I will get lower rates by NOT claiming restless leg for 12 months in a row.
***What's the best company to get an overseas medication from WITHOUT a prescription?**** No sermons please, after I get the new lower payment rate, I can go back to the doctor and get written prescriptions again.

medication from other countries
You are right, and that is why I need to find out what is the best reputable pharmacy overseas to get just this one medication, generic Requip, from for ONLY a 3-month time period. After I can my health insurance rate, I will get the medication with a prescription here in the US. So, what's a reputable overseas pharmacy that any of you have dealt with?
why don't other countries help us
Whenever there is a disaster in other countries the US helps them out, but whenever there is a disaster here (like the floods in the mid west, tornado's, Katrina, etc nobody helps us?
RELATIVES FROM OTHER COUNTRIES
My husband is a first generation American. His folks came here legally, worked their buns off, and did it the right way. My father-in-law became a citizen as did his sister. My husband's sister married a man whose entire family came here LEGALLY from Beirut during that awful war where they lost everything, their businesses, their homes, couldn't even leave their hiding places to buy grocersies because they were shot at, so they went without food for quite some time. They were singled out there because they allowed the females in their family to go to college. Can you imagine? They came here with what they could salvage LEGALLY, then got jobs and saved their money until they could start their own businesses. All of these humble people respected our laws and now are part of us. They are all Americans now except my mother-in-law who passed away still with her green card, but she always showed up and did what she needed to do legally to stay in this country and she loved it. None of them worked for anyone illegally or under the table. I say send all the illegals back. All of them. She is right, we don't have enough natural resources or cash to take care of all these people who do not respect us anyway and take and take and give nothing to to contribute to our society except more illegal things in order to earn a buck. Like sell drugs, drive drunk, pretend to be Jose Somebody at the ER so they won't have to pay the bill that we all cover. Enough.
I have traveled to foreign countries,
went to Greece just with my daughter when she was 12 and have visited lots of other countries just me and the children when they were young. I drive out of state frequently as have family in another state. I also go on vacations with meeting up with tours, people I don’t know but get to know with the time spent with them. I love traveling and if I want on DH to go, would never get around to it. I never fear traveling alone, have a good auto and go!
I never thought of other countries - great idea - thanks
I've been searching on Google for vegen recipes, kind of getting a lot of the same ol, same ol, and some menu ideas, but never thought about other countries recipes. Also a lot of the recipes talk about ingredients I've never heard about and just can't afford a lot of trial and error. Just looking for different ideas. The foreign country ideas sounds interesting. Thanks.

According to her, she is on medication

The only medication I am on...
is Chantix, started 1 month ago, and these symptoms preceded that but the dizziness and balance issues may have gotten worse with the Chantix.
I just keep going to the doctor and they keep telling me anxiety. These symptoms basically fell into my lap 3 months or so ago.
Not familiar with medication, but is there some way SM
you can cut it in half or quarters and start out taking a tiny amount, then gradually start taking the entire pill? If you are able to do that, your body will get used to it and you will soon be able to consume entire amount.
Or ask doctor is there is something else to try. Good luck to you.
natural OTC medication?
Could you tell me what natural OTC medication she is taking? This sounds so much like my 16-year-old daughter. TIA.
Accidnetally took hubs medication
this morning. I take a blood pressure pill and I just took a 40 mg tablet of atenolol he had- thinking it was my armour thyroid. Should I just watch my blood pressure to make it does not dip too low? I think I will be okay but anyone else done this?
We should use them as test subjects for medication and
I guarantee you start doing some tough punishment and there would be less of that crap going on.
You sound a bit paranoid. Medication

medication from overseas pharmacy
(I have a self-employed health plan). What the health insurance company tells me is: At the time of my application for a lower rate (Jan 2010), they will look at all of my doc visits & pharmacy meds for the past 12 months. I have higher priced health insurance only because I have restless leg syndrome and take only ONE medication, generic Requip. I stockpiled my medication and it will not show that I have gotten a prescription refilled or been to the doctor about restless legs for 12 months, so they will place me in the cheapest health insurance rate.
After my cheaper rate goes into effect, I can go back to the doctor - I will be locked into the new cheaper plan for a few years until the health insurance company closes that plan out and I have to reapply to a new health insurance plan.
That will all work, except that I will run out of the stockpiled prescription three months early (I have nine months stockpiled); hence my need to go overseas for just one 90-day prescription to carry me over so it won't be reported to the health insurance company.
So to answer your question, it will be OK with the health insurance company after they have "locked" me into my newer, cheaper health insurance rate. Then I can go back to the doc and the pharmacy, and the health insurance company doesn't care.
Rules about bringing medication to
school are there for a reason. She knew she was not supposed to do it as all of that is explained EVERY school year. In our schools, medications (even aspirin) is kept in the office with a note from a doctor (whether rx or not) and they dispense it.
What do you think of that lash growing medication?
I've seen the commercial but cannot remember the name of the med, but it's for growing lashes. It may cause (possibly) reversible eyelid darkening and permanent discoloration of the iris. Would people really want those potential risks and/or side effects? I mean, you're messing with your sight here. I've always had long lashes and find them a pain at times - they curl the wrong way and poke your eye and you have to pluck them (ouch), they catch on your glasses, etc. I can't help but feel that we'll find out 10 years down the road that med cause some kind of cancer.
My husky Cara had seizures, she was never on medication though - sm
She only had them about every 18 months or so, granted I don't know if she had others when I was at work during the day, at night she slept in our bed with us. I believe the seizures contributed to the shortening her life though. She died days after her 8th birthday (cancer) in 2003. She never bit her tongue either, and the seizure was a few minutes and then after 15 or so minutes she started to get back to normal, but she would usually sleep for a long time after having a seizure. Since your dog's seizures seem to be getting worse I would opt for the medication. If you vet gives you a hard time then you might want to think about going to a different vet. Good luck.
Risperdal is the only medication approved for kids...sm
our 7-year-old has been on this medication for 1-1/2 years and it has been our miracle drug with her. The mood swings are tons better and if she skips a dose we can definitely tell the difference. Some patients do experience weight gain with this or the other bipolar medications. You can get information about bipolar kids from the website bpkids.org. Good luck to you!
Has anyone ever been prescribed a medication that their insurance refused to pay for it?

Question about taking vitamins with allergy medication
This may sound like a stupid question, but I've never taken allergy medication and now I've got bad allergies. Just took a vitamin C about 10 minutes ago. Is it safe to take an allergy pill (Clariton I think it is) so soon after taking a vitamin, or does it even matter. Again, sorry if that sounds stupid, just not used to taking either and my head/eyes feel like they are going to explode and I'm sneezing and coughing and runny nose, and just feel icky all over but have got to work.
