It's been over a year since I've been to a uro. They won't sell me any without an appt. The first available appt is in one month.

If my PCP writes a script, I have to pay for it at Walgreens

Your Uro can do it over the phone.

IT, while we can't opening discuss getting drugs from other countries I know that a lot of our members do so at a substantial savings. The generic forms of V are also available at a low cost.

If you want to go the overseas route I suggest you look back at some old threads and email the guys that have done it successfully.

Thanks Jim. I will.

with a vent lol. Only in East Tennessee can a man have his prostate removed because of prostate cancer and it become a challenge to get Viagra. /vent

Thanks

Cheap prices at mailmyprescriptions dot com (based in Fla.) -- they can contact your doc for you. Shipping has been free. I've been statisfied with their prices and service (in addition to sildenafil, they have tadalafil (generic Cialis), too, of course.)

Serious question: would it be different in West or Central Tennessee? While I know Memphis is on the west part of the state and that Nashville (the only Tennessee city that I've been to) is in the middle of the state, I can't say I know much about the eastern part...

IT, you can also go to goodrx.com, i use it to get Cialis generic. The last time i filled a scrip i paid $29.70 for 90 day supply, my prescription drug plan would have charged me about $200 at the time, out of pocket (at that time Cialis had just come out as generic and prices had not come down yet).
anyway, goodrx.com, it works

Like Pratoman said. I had my doc write the script for sildenafil, I got the coupon from goodrx.com, and have it filled at the local Osco. Cost is about $30 for the 90 day version (as if I should get that lucky.)

Thanks Prato! I just got off the phone from goodrx. A doctor is supposed to get back with me this evening, which is what I really need. I need a doctor that will prescribe it. My PCP prescribed 10 pills for me today. He doesn't want to get involved as he says it's the urologist's responsibility to prescribe it. (but, he doesn't say that about my PSA testing lol). I'm leaving to go on vacation in 2 weeks. I"ll be gone close to 2 months. (I'm bringing my boat from Myrtle to S.E. Florida). I haven't used Viagra in 3 years. It's time to change that bad mindset and get with the program.

Thanks DT. I couldn't find a phone number on their site. I do best when dealing directly with human beings.

Michael, I just (falsely) assumed that with my history, getting a script for Viagra would be as easy as buying a bottle of asprin. I assumed wrong. Here's my experience with the medical community in E. TN. It's beautiful here. It's one of the cheapest places in the Nation to live. A lot of water, nature, mountains, etc.....the quality of life here is great. Except for....there is no good medicine. (and I don't mean this to turn into doctor bashing at all). But, the medical community is a weak link. It's southern Appalachia. Middle TN wouldn't be near the problem with Vanderbilt. But, here....there is a teaching hospitial here. The one thing on their mind when they are at work is....."When do I get off work?" There is just no "Patient First" medical culture here. And, as Forest Gump would say, "And that's all I have to say about that."

I don't mean to be negative. It's a great place to live. And, that plays a huge role in why doctors practice here. (If you catch my drift)

At the very top of their homepage there is a blue banner with an 800 tel. # and "Call to speak to a licensed pharmacist"

good info dt. if goodrx doesn't come through I know where to go. thank you!

Thanks for the perspective IT. Initially, I thought that maybe there was some Tennessee-specific laws about prescriptions, but then I realized you had specifically the eastern part of the state. It does sound like a beautiful place to live...I suppose a trade-off in a lot of beautiful places to live in the US could be less robust health care. I think about that often as I figure out where we might live when we reach our twilight years. (Heck, maybe we're already in our twilight years.)

My Uro renews the scrip. They did the research and I get it through HealthWarehouse.com $57 for 90 20mg pills delivered. Maybe not the best price, but not bad.

Once I find a doctor who's willing to write the script and has an extra 10 mins in the next month, I may use them.

thanks rob

Crazy IT, that a Dr wouldn't write the scipt, considering your history. I bet when you get to SE Florida you could go to an urgent care center and get them to write it. They do anything down there. Wish i was still there so we could hang out.

LOL I'm thinking the same thing lol. Just go to urgent care.

I'll be there a year. Or, at least my boat will be. And I plan on being on it as much as possible. be great to see you Prat

I mainly want it down there for through the winter. But you can't just show up in oct and get one. (a slip)
Posted 6/10/2020 2:00 PM (GMT 0)

One of the moderators recommended I look in to Revatio (Generic sildenafil 20mg) that is actually prescribed for cardio reasons. Luckily, my PCP understands my situation and prescribes it. Current Goodrx pricing at Walgreens is $66.00 for 90 and Walmart is $26.08. There are multiple grocery stores for under $20.
