Well, I made my run for the border. I got to L.A. and decided to go to TJ since I was so close, to see if I could maybe get Imitrex cheaper there. WRONG! I went to at least 10 different pharmacies and the cheapest I could find it was 14.50 for one nasel spray. That works out to 87.00 for 6 which is what I get per month for 50.00 here. The area was about as depressing as it gets, and for some reason I got singled out on the way back in to Calif. by the border patrol. Everyone else was allowed to just walk through, but they searched my purse, bags and made me take off my sweater that I'd tied around my waist. Asked me where I was born, etc.etc. So my depressing trip was for nothing, and i'm really bummed out, because I realize that the only thing that makes me happy these days, is a good stash of Imitrex, full bottles of Oxygen and an ice pack for my head in the cooler that I keep next to me in the car.
If anyone else plans to go to Mexico to get medication, you DO need a script, and be prepared to not get a deal, However I believe you can get as much as you want, which is the only advantage as far as I can see.
I miss not talking to you all every day. I'm looking as hard as I can for a place to live. Linda Howell
