Nobody knows.
My insurance makes me get my PCP prescribed meds from a mail order pharmacy & my cat gets vet meds in the mail from another OL pharm, so nobody notices, even when they sign for my stuff!
My spouse is incredibly clueless about medicine & relys on me to make sure his mother who takes 8 different prescription meds has what she needs for the best price. She comes to visit from India with a supply to last her visit, but if she should run out of something I know just where to get it!
That is how i found you all, looking for cheap Canadian meds, ended up buying even cheaper Indian meds (benzos) to make bearable long plane trip, but sometimes now when the old lady is really pissing me off!
I'd love to tell my sister, who has taken alot of pain meds, mostly vicodan, first for her osteoarthritic hip, then for recovery from hip replacement surgery. I've picked up so much now from this forum about chronic pain & opiods, that I could share with her but she would not approve. She really self rationed her vicodan intake as it kept her awake at night. I kept telling her to ask the MD for something different, but she never did.
I'm always researching medical stuff on the internet, so i tell my family & friends "I'm not a doctor, just play one on the internet!" If I had it to do again I'd try to go to medical school, probably end up in jail for prescribing too much pain meds.
