Q: Is there an affordable online doctor and pharmacie to buy medications I need?

 I am supposed to be on opiods, they are the only thing that make it tolerable to be able to use my legs. The neurologist says that if I don't use my legs, that I will loose the use of them completely. I have reflex syndrome dystrophe, (nerve damage), steel rod in left femur, steel plate in left elbow, screws in wrist, and now my right leg is damaged from putting most of my weight on it to save my left leg. I am currently on lorcet, soma, and zanex, because I can't afford my correct medications. The only medications that have worked to where I could at least walk tolerably have been oxycontin 40mg(3 times dailey), duragesic 75mg patches (changed every 48 hours) along with lorcet 10, and soma 350mg 4 times dailey, mscontin 60mg (3 times dailey), or methodone 10 mg 4 times a day. But I can not afford the doctors here in louisiana or the medications. Does anyone know how I could consult with a doctor online and get my medications from an international pharmacie where they are cheaper. So that I can afford them. PLEASE HELP ME! I stay depressed and gaining weight because of the depression. And the more weight I gain the harder it is for me to walk because of the extra weight on my legs. Please anyone with any information would be so much APPRECIATED!

Jon is absolutely correct.  I'd just like to add that, in addition to being illegal, ordering from that kind of online pharmacy can be downright dangerous.  The medications you receive may contain different dosages and even different drugs than what you ordered.  And some are scams designed to get your credit card information and steal your identity.  Before you consider ordering from an online pharmacy, please read this article:  A Guide to Buying Prescription Drugs on the Internet

 

If you don't have insurance, ask your doctor if you can get a discount for paying cash at the time of your visit.  (Mine gives me a 30% discount.)  Or check with your local Health Dept.  Often they charge on a sliding scale based on your income.
