I will be starting T at the end of this month and I was just wondering where everyone gets thier scripts filled. I use Giant Eagle for my meds but I dont know if they will carry T or what not? So any help on this would be great because I dont want to look like an idiot going somewhere and then being turned away.
I usually just go to CVS. I think anywhere that fills prescriptions would be fine, if they don't have it in stock they'll just order it and get it in the next day or so. I've had to do that before.

I know a lot of guys use Stroheckers online. They are fairly cheap.

I do have a CVS near me. Just have to see where my insurance will cover me to go I guess.
My doctor actually recommend Wal-Mart since they are super cheap there. I'm getting about 100 days worth of Spiro and Estrodial for about $85. I'm not a fan of the chain but it was a good recommendation.
hello, i receive my meds from medco via mail ( usually 3 month supply)
I use Strohecker's Pharmacy online. The staff that I talked to on the phone were all very helpful and understanding with all the questions I had. The 10ml vial they send should last me about 5 months or so by my estimation.
Any major pharmacy should carry T, and if they don't, it should come in after a day, depending on their supplier. The worst they can say is "we don't carry it here" and you can try somewhere else. If you want, call ahead and make sure they have it in stock/within your price range/etc before you go so it's not a wasted trip.
I like WALMART also, you get a cost saving which is always good!
Walgreens, because I don't shop Walmart. I don't care for their policies regarding GLBT and I will not give them my money.
Yeah, Walgreens is good as well. Hmmm did not know Walmart is transphobic???
Old Sam Walton was a big homophobe. And it shows in their policies for employees.
I use K Mart because I am kewl like that. :P

Just googled Walmart and GLBT. Makes me not want to shop there anymore. :-\ If only Wal-greens had a better selection and wasn't so expensive.

K-Mart, as a part of Sears Holding Corporation, is supposed to be GLBT inclusive with sexuality and GID protections for employees. For what it's worth.
I personally have to use Prime Theraputics (mail order service) because my insurance company will not allow me to refill a 'maintenance' prescription more than twice at a retail location. It is also 1/6th the cost to me versus buying it at Walgreens.
Walgreens has a savings club type deal for those without insurance. Cost about $20 to join but you make that up with your first hormone prescription. When I was in the States it saved me a good third off all my prescription hormones.
Target has $4/30 days and $10/90 days generic drugs without any membership fee.
CVS has the same deal with a $10/year membership fee.
I like Target, too.

Well then I guess this just going to depend on who my insurance company is going to let me go to and then I will determine who is cheapest. Thanks ladys for your input.

In case I wasn't clear, BCBS gets me my HRT, 90 days for 50% of one month's dose. I have fairly good insurance through my father's employer for the next 12 month's, but check your insurance plans. I almost cried when they told me "90 days estropipate, $5; 90 days avodart, $40", especially compared to the black market HRT costs.
