At wit's end

Has anyone used an on-line American pharmacy to ship perishable drugs? I cannot get my meds in Austin -- probably not in Texas, I've tried College Station, where I'll be this weekend, but Walgreens has none there, either. I've waited five weeks, and learned that I must say screw the cash flow, I must buy the stuff where/when I can find it. I have a script for this, I just cannot find it. Apparently %$@#%&^ Monarch is not producing enough of this drug.

I've found a place to investigate, but I know nothing about them, and I hate to spend over $400 at a site I know nothing about . . ..

On another note, it's POURING. We may catch up to normal rainfall.

I've never ordered/shipped that much in perscription drugs but I have walked over the border into Mexico, bought that much with my parents and walked back.

I'd almost reccomend catching a Southwest super-saver flight to Harlingen ($99), catching a taxi to the border (about $20-$40), walking over the bridge ($5), eating a great meal (about $25), buying your drugs, walking back across and catching a taxi back (another about $20-$40).

I know people who do this every six months.

My parents live in the Valley and drive over about once a month or so to get theirs.

It's outrageous that we have to do this, but desperate times call for desperate measures.

I've thought of it -- I've bought one drug from Canada until recently -- but this is a refrigerated vial made only by Monarch Labs for Wyeth -- there's no generic. And getting a partial dose or worse from a dummy vial could cause me to build up resistance to the stuff.

Will keep this in mind, though. SWA does have good specials to Harlingen fairly regularly.
