Its a non scheduled prescription but last time I saw a doctor they hit me for 300$ just to send a script. I’ve been taking it for years but recent changes have made it difficult to get a GP

Thank you in advance

    Look for a nurse practitioner in private practice.

    Also a lot of universities and towns have free or low cost clinics, but it’s a hit or miss thing. Mostly teaching medical colleges and universities. The waiting time for an appointment is understandable really long.

    Also check out your local health department for advice.

      Oh these are all great suggestions! I live near two schools of nursing I bet I can find one quick. I wasn’t aware they could prescribe meds.

      Also I’ll see if there is a free clinic here, we have to have one we have a large Hispanic and Muslim communities that are all on refugee status.

      Thank you!

        FYI: a licensed nurse is not a nurse practitioner. There are levels to a nursing degrees. I don’t recall them all, a NP has a masters and years of clinical experience. There’s also physicians assistant which I think can also prescribe.
