Birth Control Question

[HottyToddyChick]

I'm putting this here in hopes of getting more responses.

I have a week left before my period pills. My pills are going to run upwards of $200 with out insurance, and I really don't want to switch kinds out of fear of being hormonally imbalanced and possibly psychotic (like with my other pills).

Does anyone know of any places, maybe like Planned Parenthood, that would give them to me way cheap? Or do they only give out certain types?

I'm on Seasonique, if that helps...

whats is the name of the pills and the company who makes them?

 

[HottyToddyChick]

Seasonique... not sure who makes them. I think Seasonale is the generic of it... or vice versa.

Birth Control Services - Planned Parenthood

each center appears to have different policies

 

[AUDRAA]

you should be able to find a planned parenthood clinic with a sliding scale somewhere look in the yellow pages

they do have a generic for seasonique. try needymeds.org, i just looked and they offer coupons for it and also try calling around to diffrent pharmacies. i know here krogers is pretty cheep. that and the coupon you should be able to get it cheap, especialy if you can get the generic on top of it all


i hope that helps a littlle

 

[HottyToddyChick]

Awesome. I'll call this afternoon and find out.

Meyers gives out cheaper prescriptions also.

$200??? Fuck sake! Why dont you just buy condoms if that's the case, you can buy then in bulk for less than a quid each?

 

[HottyToddyChick]

Because if I don't have premeasured hormones coming into my body, I'm a fucking psycho. I get hormonal easily, and this helps a lot. If you can go back far enough, you can find posts where you can almost tell when I switched kinds and then when I finally got on this kind.

I don't think there's a Meyers around here.

there are tons of health clinics and stuff in my area - you just have to find one in yours

our city health unit (where they give vaccinations, etc.) also sells birth control - most brands are about $50 a month.

I wish I could help. I've never taken BC pills in my life...

$200!?!?! Wow!

You could do what all the cool kids do: order them cheaply from Canada.

Why do you think they pulled the plug on us buying Canadian drugs? You'll pay full price dammit. It's the American Way!

Tho, I've heard about Planned Parenthood also.... It used to be you could get them for free there. But that was the 80's....

My Girlfriend gets her Patches free at planned parenthood.

Not sure about the pills tho.

Have you talked to your doctor about the generic of seasonale? It's a slightly different version of seasonique and there is a generic version of the seasonale which will run about $40 for the 90 day prescription.

I found seasonale on the canada site and it was 120 v 180. I need to go back to that poor clinic and see what I can get. I know at school I had to have a pelvic to get a prescription. I hope I don't here...
