what state do you live in? order it from canada--no problems and its pretty cheap

Hey. If you ask for humulin r, the pharmacist basically has to give it to you. Maybe you are asking for humalog which is script only. If you want humalog, order it from canada as the others have said. Thanks

in illinois you need a card to get slin--unless you know your stuff really well

Hey. Damn, when did they start doing this. I have had friends get humulin r within the past few months with no trouble. Is just something the pharmacy does voluntariy or a state wide practice. Does the card thing apply for all types of insulin. Thanks

In Michigan you don't even need to talk to a pharmacist when getting slin. It all sits in a cooler outside of the pharmacy area. You can walkin and get what you need and be out.

That is SWEET.

I just got slin for the first time yesterday.

I walked up and asked for Humlin R and 100 syringes.

Then the lady starts asking me questions.

Her: What needles do you need?

Me: The 100IU insulin ones, you know?

She then goes over to the pharmasist and talks to him. He looks over at me (Not because I am huge cause I am NOT) and then comes over.

Him: Which syringes do you need?
Me: All I know is my girlfriend told me to get the 100IU ones. Then I say disgusted, she is making me pick up tampons for her too so I am not too happy. Then I laugh. He laughs, gets me the pins and the slin and I am HAPPY.

If they are telling you you need a Rx tell them you are from FL and are on vacation. You don't have a script because in FL they don't give you a RX.

Good LUCK>
