Dry January Challenge

I have my doctor's letter for a prescription meeting next Thursday, from Addaction, they've done bloods etc. and contacted my GP.

So, they will either give me a prescription there and then and I will go down their counselling route as well.

If I hear anything else, like excuses, as to why not, I will walk out and start on the stuff I bought. I'd rather that I got it on UK prescription, becauae it cost me nothing, as I have so many other meds, I purchase a yearly prescription card, as it works out cheaper than paying monthly.

If I go my own way, it will cost me £116 per month, once my two months has run out. But if that's what I have to do, that's what I have to do. It will be six weeks when I see him next week, between my GP and Addaction, that is how long it will have taken (maybe) to get a drug that the NHS says should be given immediately after becoming abstinate.

That's a lot of money and couldn't afford that. Is campral a very expensive drug and why doctors won't prescribe it? Good luck you, we are all very interested in the outcome. 

Hi RHGB

Just re-read the thread and realised you answered my question about what campril earlier.  Thanks

No Campral works out about £35 a month for the NHS. But when you buy it from abroad, you're not buying it in massive quantity (not like NHS buying power - massive discount), you buy off of a broker (that's what most of these online pharmacies really are - his profit) who gets it from the maker (his profit) and you're paying for high shipping charges (extra cost) on a small quantity.
