Kazoo,
Funny, I was just checking out "costco.com". The drawback for me is the $45 membership fee. Which would allow me to purchase Sam-e at a very reasonable price (44 cents/200 mg pill). But as a bipolar girl, it may kick me up too far, and I just want to experiment with it. Evidently (this from the New York City Mood Orders Support Group website) the other place it's cheap is Sam's Club stores, I'm sure it's available online. But the membership fee is a pain in the ass. You can get non-scrip vitamins and myriad other stuff from these club stores (furniture, anyone?), but not sure about scrips.
For your regular prescriptions, I would just go to Drugstore.com (RiteAid affiliate). They send me reminders via e-mail when I need a refill, which is GREAT, and as long as they have it on file through RiteAid, they fill the scrip. Then I go pick it up, although they do deliver as well. Might as well go for a large chain, Kazoo, they seem to have the bumps smoothed out. You can also mail scrips on paper to them if you can't get out, or have the Dr's office call an affiliated local drug store. For stuff like benzo's though, you need the scrip in triplicate, the doctor's office could mail it, I think.
So do check out the drugstore.com web site. They also sell anything a drugstore might have, health and beauty products (you will want to make sure you're beautiful for when Willow shows up...)
Others have mentioned Walgreen's drug store as a good one. I don't know which ones to avoid, but hope this helps anyway. Do a search on this board for "drugstores" and see what you get, I know we've gone over this, but maybe while you were in the crisis period with your mother. I hope the wounds are starting to heal, sweetie...
Many kind regards,
Wendy
