I keep getting spam for no prescription online pharmacies. I don't have med. insurance and visiting the doctors costs too much $ to get a prescription. Should i trust some of those online pharmacies to get sleeping pills? Is it legal? I know nothing on this entire subject. Any info would be helpful. Thanks.

I've been on fentanyl 50 for years and it helps most of the time. I do require break thru meds that sometimes help but don't last the way they should. I had a prescription but no insurance so I fell for a scam with someone on this website, don't do it! If you read the comments all the way back you will see, do not fall for it, it was a total scam.
Best of luck to you and God Bless

Pharmacy express is a legit pharmacy; But as the FDA site warns us to be very careful and do research on any out of country place many of them are not pharmacies and you don't even know what they are going to send you.They have tested many of the International medications and they are in most case's not even the drug they claim it is. and even have very dangerous medications in them.Or offer generics for drugs that have no generic here yet.And it might be only 10% of the real drug and depending on your condition this could be very life threating. So if you are going to do it research the mail order close and first and for most make sure it really is a pharmacy and not someone that can not be traced many medications that have come from 3rd world countries have had some very dangerous medications in them. And if they are seeking you out you can pretty much bet that it is not a real pharmacy look at it as spam.
depending where your at here there are some very low-income clinics and many of the drugs are able to be gotten free or with a huge discount from the drug manufacturer. Your life is not worth getting something that is not the real thing.

Well yes I know am not supposed to go about spreading such sensitive information over the internet as not only those who suffer real pain but also those in it just to satisfy their cravings would make attempts to get some for themselves and probably save for later. Well with that said, I was only doing so for anyone with real need and who's smart enough to figure should help themselves somehow.. no offense!!!

I do not nor can I afford health insurance and the cost of seeking a pain mang. Is something that I can not afford. I am unable to work so I have a ssi case going. But the pain I live in on a daily basis is pretty much limited me of enjoying life and being able to accomplish anything, so I thought that I would try and see if I can receive my medicine this way.

There is a product called "Melatonin" that will make you sleep like a baby. You can find it over the counter.. It has to be taken a half an hour before going to bed. If you search online for herbal remedies, you can also find a lot.

Ambien sucks! It provides a very small window of time to fall asleep and if you don't jump through that window fast enough, you're jacked. Hello insomnia! In my experience at least.

I am in DESPERATE NEED for help my brother suffers from extreme anxiety and seizures and its to the point where he can't physically leave the house I am at my last resources our doctor has refused to prescrive anymore medication because it is out of my brothers control to to physically leave the house and go to his appointments. I don't know what to do anymore to help. I need a legit site where I can purchase his medicine or ideas of what to do in cases like these. Like getting a lawyer or Flying out the country and getting medicines that way idk but I'm desperate willing to do anything for my brother. Please I beg you all to help. God bless!

Your brother needs Clonazepam. It helps with severe anxiety and seizures. I know this from personal experience.
AndroZan244

Stop, you're brother probably does not need clonazepam. The other fool who commented on you're answer seems to think they're a doctor, and if they say they are then they shouldn't have a license as they havent even assessed you're brother yet. Clonazepam and other benzodiazepines are effective in treating some types of seizures, but sedative-hypnotic drugs especially strong ones like clonazepam can cause extremely bad side effects, or even exacerbate you're brothers problem. Not only that, clonazepam might not even work for you're brother and it's highly addictive so it's difficult to get prescribed. Finally, don't listen to anyone on the internet telling you what medications you or you're brother should take, he needs to be assessed by a real doctor in real life; only then can you and him start taking measures to treat him. The golden rule is: Never ever ever self medicate without consulting a medical professional in REAL LIFE! Best of luck, I hope you're brother gets better soon :)

Clonazepam is for anxiety and seizures associated with epilepsy. Do you know if the seizures are epileptic? In my opinion clonazepam is very mild, it's very safe and effective but you need to find out what the seizures are caused from. If you can't get him out of the house you should either call an ambulance or at least get a dr to make a house call. Sounds like epilepsy to me though and that's very serious so the sooner the better you get him looked at.

I've never heard of "no prescription online pharmacies" until I came across your question. As much as I love the internet for many purposes, I would prefer to stick with my local CVS where I need an Rx from my Dr. The fact that this "pharmacy" doesn't require a prescription makes me a little suspicious.

Some companies are real but not many. Actually I have same problem because I'm using Xanax and I placed an order 2 years ago on a web-site. After that dozens of people were calling my number and demanding me to buy some medication from them. This is crazy because they even call on Sundays and on vacations, but I think I've found a way how to deal with scam pharmacy calls. I got a personal agent from the pharmacy I trust and whenever somebody gives me a call I do not hang up or start yelling or anything I calmly tell them that I have an agent and there is no point in calling me again. In most cases when they hear that I'm already dealing with somebody else, they do not call again.

I to use Xanax for very real reasons and without it im convinced sometimes id not survive, I have suffered from panic and anxiety disorders that are very real noboby would understand how real and frighnning they are unless u yourself suffered , therefore some doctors don't understand and think its all a mental disorder.For some people its nessessary to have to simply leave the house. Ive ordered them online once and accidently placed 2 orders from 2 separate companys and the results came in as one script was real medicine and the other order received was not,in fact just the oppicate,it made me feel even more antious,ive been to mexaco where you can visit your local pharmacy and buy a cupple hundred without a prescription so with the orders on line are I think hit and sometimes miss.

I have used a few online pharmacies. I think that the scare tactics of impurity are a little overblown, even our own government is importing certain drugs now due to national shortages. You do have the issues of patient-doctor relationship which doesn't really exist when your ordering online, could potentially get you in big trouble. My feeling is that the feds wouldn't waste their time on a individual ordering small, personsal use amounts when they can go after the big wigs. All depends what you feel comfortable with, just relaying my own experiences and personal choices.

There is nothing at all wrong with using an online pharmacy but if you use an online pharmacy to buy a prescription drug WITHOUT a prescription, you and the pharmacy are breaking the law!! If you are sending in a prescription from your Dr to an online pharmacy there is nothing wrong with that. That is not in dispute. It is the part about getting prescription drugs without a prescription. Any legit pharmacy will require you to have a prescription from the Dr. Grab your nearest Rx bottle and look on the label-somewhere on the bottle, it will say that Federal law prohibits the transfer of this drug to any person other than the person for whom it was prescribed. If you are getting a drug without a script, that requires a script, it is a federal offense. If you give your friend or family member some of your medication that was prescribed for you, you are commiting a federal offense! It is really just as bad as selling drugs on the street as far as the law is concerned!

And yes, the feds can bust you if they catch you! It is also true that they are more interested in shutting down the illegal pharmacies who are dealing in larger quantities but they can bust you too if they wish. Our government may be importing drugs but it is done legally and will be done with companies that handle drug manufacturing that meets FDA standards. You can go to Mexico and buy medications but there are no laws down there that prohibit companies from using ingredients that are illegal in the US because the dont meet standards-they could be carcinogens, heavy metals, things like mercury, toxic chemicals banned in the US, etc. They can sell drugs that would be considered way expired in the US so they may have lost potency or could no longer be sterile because after a certain time preservatives are no longer stable. I dont know about you, but I dont want crap like that in my body!!

Some meds are going to flag a person, to the US Customs agency, with or without an rx. For example, rx diet pills. I worked for a man at a hair salon who was ordering rx diet meds without an rx, from an online pharmacy. He used the salon address for the delivery, and received a letter from the US Customs, saying they had seized his shipment, and if he tried it again, they would prosecute. Needless to say, i found another job, because they actually could have entered the salon and arrested all of us, regardless of whether we knew he had done this. Meds that can be abused are really going to send out red flags, but no med is to be purchased online without a valid rx. It is tempting, but could lead to lots of trouble. There are many other options, low cost clinics, who will write a legal rx or fax one to the online pharmacy. Many large Churches now have low cost medical units, with real volunteer drs and nurses.
Or they may have a member of the congregation who sees patients who don't have insurance or have little income. Most popular older meds have generics, many drug manufacuters have patient assistance programs. You look for a webpage for the med or manufacturer of the med, then look for the patient assistance prompt, or the contact us prompts. Most of the time, the dr doesn't know a persons financial situation, but if made aware, will write for generics or give samples. Patti

Some of those sites will get a doctor to write the prescription, making it legal. Only thing is that you don't know the doctor.

Hey Trammy could you recommend and online pharmacies you like?
DemoninDC
19 Feb 2012
The majority of online pharmacies are illegal. If you want to check the legitimacy of an online pharmacy you can look up the pharmacy's site at www.legitscript.com. They also have a search engine to find a patient assistance program that may be able to pay for your medication. These programs do work and they will help you fill out the paperwork if you are not able to do it yourself.
You can call your doctor and ask if (s)he will see you for free or a reduced rate. If they cannot, they may be able to recommend another doctor that will see you. Your other option is to go to your state's medical services department and they should be able to help you get into a state program or direct you to a clinic that should be able to help you.
Just to be clear, any drug in the USA that is approved by the FDA requires a prescription issued by a doctor. No pharmacy licensed in the USA can dispense a drug without a prescription from a doctor. Good luck.

I had a friend about two years ago that was purchasing prescription medications online. Yes you need a prescription from a doctor. They provide the doctor and prescription. The meds always came from a licensed U.S. pharmacy. She called the number on the pill bottle and it came from same pharmacy with same doctors name every time as long as she used the same site. I am not saying it's legal or safe but most of these sites have everything covered. Some sites actually require you to give prescription info and doctor info.

The operative phrase here is 'in the USA'. These laws do not apply to offshore pharmacies. Regarding these, the law says that a citizen of this country may legally purchase a three month supply of a non-scheduled med for their own use, without a prescription. These meds, made in the USA by the same companies that manufacture the brand meds (Merck, Pfizer, etc) are identical in ingredients and quality. Big Pharma wants to sell their products even in countries that don't provide patent protection. We can't have their meds without paying through the nose, but in countries like India, they are available for a reduced price. When you buy from the offshore pharmacy, you pay the reduced price. No scrip required. All legal. The site you recommended is only going to list pharmacies in the US.

But as far as scheduled drugs... those are totally illegal?
Not a good idea to purchase a controlled substance from out of country without a prescription?
