I hate how hard it is to get a medical prescription in the us

As someone who got liver damage from Roaccutane, I cannot recommend that you consider anything else. I had disgustingly severe acne, by the way.

But to answer your actual question, American healthcare sounds completely fucked from my understanding. However, I also understand that prescription meds are advertised on TV. The whole set up is insane.

I'm sorry you have to go through all that: I'm so glad I live in a country which has the dreaded evil "socialised medicine" the usa rejects. Can't you go over the border to Canada? I understand they do have some sort of medical system in that country which would be better than you're experiencing

Change your diet and exercise instead of looking for magic potions to solve all your fake problems.

America is the home of the rich, the 1% that is. You 99%ers are free to own guns and free to bitch about your lack of resources. Doctors work for profit. This leads to more income inequality, which we the 1% try to encourage. It is in our best interests to get everyone to produce more wealth, so debilitating conditions need to be treated effectively. But acne or toe nail fungus elimination is just plain vanity.

We get to be vain. You don't.

If you needed it you'd get it. You are most like just a hypochondriac or a junkie in denial.

Which part of the country do u live in? let me guess florida, well the us healthcare system is one of the worst in the world, our politicians are too incompetent to get anything done about it. We have trillions to spend in pointless wars policing the world but no money to universalize our healthcare and do research for deadly diseases.

I know some grey market sites with some pretty strong benzos, no prescription necessary. But that can get expensive.

I would say find a Canadian pharmacy online for this. But Accutane won't be on there. It may be hell to get it, but that's because it's a hellish drug. Be careful.

I agree absolutely. It's insulting and infantilising to be denied the medication you need because....why?
Well, yes certain drugs can be dangerous or addictive. But if you're made fully aware of the risks and want to take them anyway, that should be your choice.

But it seems like doctors either don't explain the risks, and over-prescribe, So people are taking shit they don't need, and getting into trouble with it.
Or they're overly reluctant to prescribe drug X because word is, it's being overprescribed! - (or they think you only want to abuse it!) And if you're being treated with suspicion, that's probably going to make you feel, act and seem suspicious, especially if you've got a social anxiety problem... which only compounds the problem.

I just think, we're all adults...you know. If we have a problem, we should be able to use medication to address it. Especially with the amount of money that you've had to put into this. It's fucking ridiculous.

And it constantly surprises me how little doctors and psychiatrists seem to know about shit. That's just my opinion, but a lot of them just don't have a clue.

Anyway, all you can do is basically doctor shop (which you shouldn't have to do as a legitimate patient) but the system gives you no choice, as long as you're determined to get the specific medication that you need.
I've had very mixed results with doctors, you just have to find good ones, I guess.

Tl;dr It's bullshit.
