Hey guys... Just suddenly realised that because I've somewhat extended my trip here in England I'll be running out of my perscription (despite how well I thought I had planned)

I don't have a copy of the perscription or anything, it's not like a major drug or anything seriuos... do you think I'll be able to get it here? I sure hope so or my mom is gonn have to send it sneaky sneaky through the mail.

I believe you need to have a copy of your prescription. Otherwise, you'll have to go to a walk-in clinic and see a doc to get a scrip, which if I remember correctly costs somewhere around 45GBP - making mom's sneaky-sneaky mailing sound a lot more appealing

Depending what it is, you may be able to get it over the counter in England. Also, you might try calling your doctor's office and maybe have your mom pick up the prescription slip, then maybe she could fax it to you? The price of two international phone calls would probably be worth it if you could get the prescription.

thanks guys I actually figured it out... Went to the Pharmasist to ask the deal, gave me the number to a doc. the doc had me come in right away.. just gave me the perscription no questions asked... and then the pharmacist just gave me the perscription.. didn't even need to pay... so I basically just got a wack load of pills for free.. (LOVE THIS COUNTRY) I'm sure somehow in the end I'll have to pay, but as of right now it didn't cost me a penny!
