You can get a prescription but chances are the prices are about the same. You can ask your doc how much he charges per pill/tablet and compare with what they charge in the pharmacy.

have you tried xanax?

It was a broad statement, but let's nitpick.

Sure they will, doctors don't always have all their medicines in stock. For example, antibiotics, you can't(or shouldn't be able to IIRC?) buy them over the counter in a pharmacy, yet pharmacies stock them. Ever wonder why they stock medicines/drugs that you can't buy without a writen prescription?

Price comparison, why can't you ask how much your medicine costs? You're paying for it >.> Don't tell me you blindly pay for your med's when you go to a doctor...

The point was if you DID get a prescription from your doctor you'd be able to buy the pills you were prescribed for in any pharmacy stocking the pills. Whether or not your doctor is willing to write your prescription is subjective, if he does not stock(or have in stock) the pills which he believes would best suit your needs and your best interest, he'd write you a prescription so you'd be able to obtain the pills you require or refer you somewhere else.

Whether or not the pharmacies stocks the pills are irrelevant and my post didn't say pharmacies would, though I do think they do. Price comparison, if they stock sleeping pills, they'll tell you the price.

i'm thinking of getting a mild sleeping pill because i always have isomania but i scare i cant take it cos even a flu medicine will make me sleep 18hrs continuously..

Last time i bought a sleeping pill over the pharmacy and the ppl said take one enough.. THen i took the pill, sleep for 24 hrs.. even my mom couldnt wake me up and i told her i'm toooo tired n slept back. She then din wake me up cos though that i was sick..
