In reply to what about these no prior script needed places?, posted by jonh kimble on February 14, 2005, at 23:35:50
I have completely been in your situation. I have dibilitating anxiety too, and no health insurance. I would suggest finding where in your state there are doctors you can goto where payment is on a sliding scale related to your income, or as a college student with probably no income, ones that charge nothing.
As far as getting the meds once you have gotten a prescription, paying for it can be tricky. Klonopin without any insurance only cost me $20 (I live in RI, doubt it varies if youre in the US), but the zoloft costs 100. zoloft is only available brand named, so thats why it costs so much. In RI, there is a prescription drug plan, presumably basedon income, which might be cheaper than me handin over 120bucks a month.
I think you should look into it, and if you do find a doctor thats free/sliding scale, tell him that you have money concerns, Im sure they will understand and want to help.
As far as getting them off the net, you really need to be told by a doctor how and when and what exactly to take, no matter how much you read sites like this, or even professional stuff. Plus, theyre almost as expensive(and probably more, since they are relatively easy to get off the net) as getting a script filled at a pharmacy with no insurance. And then at least you'd have the benefit of a doctor to ask questions.
I found out about the place I goto(25 bucks for me for a visit) through a google search on "uninsured health care" or something like that. If you happen to be from RI, (dont even know if youre American) I went here http://www.health.state.ri.us/disease/primarycare/healthcenters.php ...That might even link you to other states(?) , but there should be a state site with info like that for you.
Good luck.
