Does anyone have any information about buying drugs from Europe? I have come across people on the Web selling lists of pharmacies in Europe and Mexico. These people claim that you don't need a prescription and that the drugs are much cheaper. Is this really true? If so does anyone know a place to get a reliable list of pharmacies? Thanks! Peter

It is with great reservation I share this info, because I got in a lot of trouble and embarrasment trying to self-medicate. But this info is free on the net with a little searching. Don't buy a list from anyone, that stuff is bogus and will send you on a long frustrating expensive trail of phone calls and such. A few notes:
It is not wise to self-medicate.
You will have to contact them for a price list or specific quote.
You may still require a prescription.
Your order can take up to a month, maybe longer if customs snags it.
Considering shipping, delivery guarantee surcharge, and other required add-ons, it isn't cheap.
There's always a chance you might lose your money and never get a delivery.
It might make sense to use an overseas pharmacy if your doctor determines that the drug you need is not available in USA.
These contacts were found easily for free on the net, there are probably others. Again though, I must say it isn't cheap, and a bad idea to self-medicate. Keep your doctor involved with any overseas drug order.
xxx.
Take care. JohnL

> > your candid post!Hope the info helps. You aren't being nosy, nothing wrong with being curious. I tried self-medicating and got family members REAL upset. The whole experience was humiliating and I have deep reservations about seeing someone else repeat it. Though there are a lot of drug veterans out there who can probably mix and match their own medicines safely, who know their bodies, their tolerances, and the side effects, drug interactions, half-lives, mechanisms of action, matching a drug to a symptom, etc. etc. I believe there are far more people who don't know enough and could get in serious physical danger.
