    Default Is it ACTUALLY Possible...??

    I am only asking because I was watching DR Phil the other day and he was talking to mothers who were addicted to perscription painkillers.. And the one woman was getting her pills online... But is it actually possible to get perscriptions without and actual slip from your doctor?

    where can you do this though? I have a legitimate use for Vicodin. I take about 30 pills every two years. My neurologist I'd seen for years retired and the next doctor I found moved away. now I can't get a refill and have one pill left. I don't need a diagnosis. I just need more fucking vicodin before I get another migraine and use my last pill.

    Please be careful with that VIcodin FB, I used to take it for migraines, and after a while they stop working.

    I know, shut up CF, but after getting addicted to them so easily, ya know...

    I've taken vicodin for years for migraines and it's never stopped working. But my migraines sometimes don't come for several months at a time. I may get a little cluster of them over a week's time or something but that is rare. I've never felt in any way addicted to vicodin. Honestly I don't even like the way it makes me feel but I like taking it more than I like feeling a migraine. It still shocks me that people take them for enjoyment. Maybe that is because I've associated Vicodin with migraines for so long. I actually get nauseated as soon as I open the bottle of pills.

    How about finding a primary care doctor? Meet with the doctor for a check up and explain you have a migraine every few months. They may start you out with a prescription for only 5 pills until they figure out you won't be calling every other week for a refill of 30, 40 or more pills. People abuse narcotics so much, docs have to be careful.
    A lot of the "get a prescription on the internet without ever seeing a doctor" things are scams. I read an article investigating that and most of the time, the drugs that were delivered were expired or not what they claimed to be.

    Most of the online pharmacies that dispense pain meds require you to fax them some current medical records that document your condition. Once you do that you order a consult, which is usually about $125, and then you get your pills and two refills. They come right to your door.

    LSM: The operative word being "legitimate". I'm talking about all the spam crap advertising viagra, percocet, oxycontin and whatever else you want without a prescription. I know there are legitimate online pharmacies out there. I just wanted Meea to be warned about the garbage out on the 'net parading as quality.

    Yes you can get almost everything from the internet, they make you fill out a questionare, and the 'online doctor' gives you a prescription.

    i'm in the same boad as FrustratedBunny.... I get migraines quite often, like 3-4 times a week, and they are SOOO brutal.. Sometimes I have to wear sunglasses just to go to the bathroom because the room is too bright...

    Anyways, I had a prescription for Percocet, but for a different reason... And when I asked my doc about my migraines she said to take Advil and get my eyes checked... A lot of good that did.....

    It seems that they won't give you anything unless you're dying or are suffering of some terrible desease...

    Well, I just know how much migraines suck.. sometimes I want to beat my head against the wall in hopes that it will smash...

    Anyways... I was just curious if it was possible.. and I guess it is.. but i did try to buy smokes online before and the package never came, so I don't think I will involve myself in other shady dealings of questionable products for questionable businesses.

    Meea, perhaps you need to see a neurologist who specializes in headaches and migraines.

    what a joke of a doctor! I used to have a great neurologist. He was sort of referred to me as a "specialist" in migraines. I have classic migraines with aura. If I take the vicodin when I get the aura it's quite bearable though not pleasant. If I skip the vicodin, once the aura passes I feel like I want to die.

    What sucks is that I spent years treating with my old neurologist getting testing, trying things, etc. What I figured out was that I'll never get rid of them, they are hormone related because I CANNOT take ANY type of birth control pills or I'll have more migraines than one could imagine, and they are somewhat stress related and if I eat nothing but chocolate for an entire day I might get a migraine too.

    But yeah, I really do need to find a good gp doctor. I had one here in tampa that I found and he is gone from the practice. It's just hard to find a nice doctor who will listen to what you have to say. It's kind of like I don't want to spend my money on the doctor and then find out I dont' like him/her and have to start looking again for another doctor. But I only have one pill left so I better do something!

    Can anyone 'recommend' a decent online pharmacy? I don't know which one to choose. PM me if you want.

    For those w/migraines, have any of you had your Dr try Immitrex for you? I've been hospitalized a few times for my migraines and Immitrex has been a life saver. They have it in a nasal spray (which is awesome when your throwing up from the migraine because you dont throw it back up which was my problem with the pills). And for the one who said they are getting them 3 to 4 times a week, go see your Dr and see if he will put you on a beta blocker such as Propanolol, it will seriously lessen the frequency. Worked great for me.

    LoL don't you love when a doctor tells you to take advil or tylenol for a migraine? I always think thats hilarious-- do they think we havent tried that? And the triptans! ugh... none of them work... if you do get to the doctor, i've heard WONDERFUL things about the imitrex injection-- I'd ask about it...

    And i've tried the beta blockers-- didnt help, but epilepsy medicine works wonders for me!! I've been on Neurontin for 3 years now and it totally helps!
