Has anyone here ever ordered Meds online? I mean if you already know what you need, why waste $200 dollars at the docs office for him to tell you what you already know?

there are other pain releivers that are just as strong. goto you doctors office and see if they can give you samples. I wouldn't trust online. I've heard some are watered down, contaminated and/or not even the real thing. There are some programs to that help you with getting medication if you don't have insurance and can't afford it. talk to your doctor and/or social worker for more info.

Yes, a doctor can prescribe it to you as often as he likes without you seeing a pshyciatrist.  Where do you people come up with some of your information around here!!!!  Who told you that a doctor can't prescribe that for you???

Nothwithstanding my own personal feeling that he is a hypocritical piece of s hit, he claims that the pills were prescribed to him but in his doctor's name.  If this is true, it would be legal because the practice of doctors prescribing medication to themselves to preserve their clients' privacy is legal in certain circumstances, but the patient's chart would have to clearly reflect the arrangement.  The question is, does his chart say that Viagra was being prescribed in the doctor's name to protect Rush's privacy.  All that aside, Rush should have gone to jail for the first arrest since he was clearly doctor shopping.  He got a deal because he was a first time offender, and he is being treated like the addict that he is.  The irony is that prior to Rush's arrest for doctor shopping, he ranted and raved on his radio show that prosecutors were too "soft" on drug offenders and that drug users should be given sentences that were just as harsh as drug pushers -- no lenience for a dope head, no treatment.  Just jail and punishment.  How funny.  If the prosecutor followed Rush's own recommendations, he be in jail by now.

i had 2 MRI's taken (both were for my back) the cost was $900 for the first one, and the 2nd one cost $1200. Shocking isnt it? My out of pocket was 20% as insurance picked up the rest. I now live in europe and my husband has had an MRI done, the cost to him was 0 as its socialized medicine. Somethings wrong with the american health system big time!!!!

You would probably get better results by simply talking to the local pharmacy or your doctor.  They have contact with the drug companies and usually know how to get the special arrangements.  \n\nAds on TV are not always the most reliable source of information and are usually out to make a buck for themselves.

Good for you.  There are too many folks out there who treat Docs like gods, and take abusive treatment like waiting long past appointed times (that's why they call us PATIENTs, right?...Yeah, right...), not getting phone calls returned, and having to deal with rude or inept office staff.  The heck of it is, sometimes telling the Doc about their office staff does absolutely no good...those same Docs probably do not listen to well to their patients either.  Sorry...I digress.\n\nNow, if you have health insurance, be it a HMO or PPO, you'll need to choose your primary care provider from a providers list, which the company will send to you upon request, or look on the company's website, which most HMOs/PPOs have nowdays.\n\nMost companies have lots of choices.  How do you choose a good one?  Well, when I had the same problem, I asked my co-workers, friends and family who they go to, and if:\n\n1.  They like their Doc,\n2.  They like dealing with the office staff,\n3.  Get phone calls returned in a reasonable timeframe,\n4.  Ever waited too long to be seen, and if so, did the office staff let folks who were waiting know what's going on?\n\nI'm sure there are questions that are important to you that you'll want to ask.  When you narrow down your list, let your HMO/PPO know who you want to see first.  Now, your evaluation of that Doc is going to start.  Call the office for an appointment, and see how long you have to wait to be seen.  If they can't get you in within two days, in my opinion, it's bad news.  At this point I would probably go down the list and choose number two on the list.  When you do get an appointment, rate the office staff.  Were they rude? Pleasant? Treated you like you were 'bothering' them?  Write down your critiques...that goes for the Doc too.  Did he/she make you wait more than 10 mins after you were called back?  Did the Doc have the bedside manner of a rabid camel?  Did he/she smell and/or look dirty or disheveled?  Did he/she listen to you and ask good questions, or was it 'uh huh...uh huh.'  \n\nI treat that first appointment like a job interview in reverse...THEY have to EARN your business.  I don't know about you, but I expect a lot for my money...don't settle for less than you need from your doc.  Go down the line until you find the one who you can live with.  Hopefully you'll find one that you'll be very happy with.\n\nBest of luck to you!

If you live in the US, go to the local hospital and tell them he needs this.  It might even work in other countries.  Many organizations can help with perscription drug costs.  And you might want to look into some insurance pretty soon.

works great , before there was no medicare drug plan at all.  why getting your drugs for 10 to 30 dollars is a bad thing is beyond me to people.\n\nMy mother has it and it is saving her thousands of dollars a year.

Call the VA hospital and ask them for the  web address for the pharmacy, they should be able to give it to you. Once there it should walk you right through setting up your acct. Can't you order over the telephone until you get your online acct set up? Just wondering.

I have had this problem with many services.  The pharmacy is a good one.  I take so many meds that sometimes  I accidentally get cutt off of their automated refill system.  I will die because I have diabetes meds and drugs for my mental illness.  You can say I have a wooping pharmacy in my bathroom.  \n\nA couple times I get right down to the last one (number14)Then something  happens and I get disconnected.  Which means that I have to call back and give all those horrid pill bottle numbers to them.  I do this late at night so that I dont freak out on one of my loved one lol.  \n\nAnother automated system that I despise is aol tech support.  Oh man I could go on about them all day.  Whenever they tell you to say something(the automatic teller)is prompted.  Then they do not get anything right you tell them.  \n\nBecause of this they will trasnfer you to their first available tech support person.  Then you will wait forever listining to doctor office music.  Then finally somebody answers and you are like WOW!!!!!!! Finally...\n\nUnfortunately this representive speaks very broken english.  This really sucks.  I try not to loose my patience but my God I cannot understand what they are saying.  Then you can always call back and wait again.  Hoping and praying it is someone that you can understand.  \n\nI could go on but then I would be here for a long time.  Good question and YES it makes me mad.

You can get a prescription filled online (Tamiflu is available, for example, at both CVS and drugstore.com).  So if you can get a prescription, you can easily avoid going to the drugstore.  There are also a few reputable Canadian pharmacies that will sell you medicines by mail if you send them the written prescription.\n\nBut no responsible doctor will give you a prescription without seeing you in person, and no responsible pharmacy will sell you a prescription medicine without an official prescription. I would be *very* suspicious of any place that offers to do that, because it protects them as well as you.  \n\nAnd besides, it is a false savings.  How do you really know they are sending you a real medicine and not pills that are phony or out of date? If you need Tamiflu (because of an outbreak of bird flu, for example) you will need it in a hurry.  Suppose your online purchase turns out to be a fraud with a pretty package but no active ingredients: what are you going to do?  There is NO savings in that.  \n\nMy family doctor gave me a prescription for Tamiflu.  I filled it at my local drugstore with no problem at all, and it is sitting on my shelf, just in case.  You ought to try something like that.  Go to either a brick-and-mortar pharmacy or a reputable online seller, because if there is an epidemic, you won't get a chance to try a second shady online supplier.

I am a dentist.\n\nYou didn't pay $800 for two fillings.  You paid $800 for an office visit, x-rays, maybe some other services, and fillings.\n\nWhen you go to a physicians office, do you ask for an itemized list of everything you will be charged for?  Of course not.  So why would you expect this from a dentist?  He/she, like your physician, is running a doctors office and has to do multiple things to diagnose and treat your problem, and simply cannot take the time to explain every damn thing to you.  You seem to view a visit to the dentist like a trip to your auto mechanic.\n\nIt's your responsibility to ask.  You are the derelict who has financial woes and yet failed to ask, "Doctor, how much will this cost me?"\n\nFurthermore, it is your responsibility to know your insurance benefits, not your dentist's.  If you don't know, your dentist's staff would have been happy to determine this for you.  You, of course, failed to ask.\n\nI can understand you're upset with the bill.  But try to remember that your dentist did actually cure you of two diseased teeth.
