I can’t drive am disabled, can’t take an Uber which would be 49.00 to pick up a 1.69 rx. My meds all went up this year to >1k. That’s a third of my income. The alprazolam is for when my bp goes over 200 systolic it causes severe anxiety then goes up more. It’s a life saver but I have no way to get it. I have uncontrollable bp. Without it I’d be in hospital weekly. There’s no one here to ask. I only get 15 a month.
no Uber or Lyft will pick up. The drugstore won’t deliver. I put under arthritis because some there may have problems getting pain meds too.
They will tell you how to get a surrogate to pick up your medications if you are unable to leave to get them.
Discuss this with your doctor as to which pharmacy or formulary is best when ordering your medications.
Even a friend or relative can pick up a controlled substance for you. It's having ID that is the bugaboo.
Amazon also has a text-based or video based service to see a doc. I used them a few months ago when I had an infection.
It was easy peasy.
There is help thru Medicare where your Medicare part B is paid for and prescriptons are paid for. Office again should help you. Also call your CountyvDisabilities Dept. Maybevu can get an aide.
My insurance company continues to call me and mail me paperwork to have may meds mailed to me.
OK, gotta love the internet!
According to what I just looked up
"It's up to the pharmacist to decide if someone else can pick up your prescription for you. According to the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), pharmacists can use their "professional judgement and experience" to determine what's in the patient's best interest.
