Guest guest Posted August 2, 2002 Report Share Posted August 2, 2002 I was diagnosed for rosacea last year. Its been a real battle and its one I'm losing, simply b/c I don't have the $$ to purchase the meds. My parents were able to help me out for a bit but paying close to $200 for monodox monthly was just too much. And I don't have insurance either. I've begged my derm to prescribe something w/in my price range but no luck. I'm in the process of locating another derm that can work w/ my $$ problems. What are you all using? Right now I'm on Metrolotion and it seems to have calmed down the redness in my face but I'm having massive breakouts around the chin and cheek area. I'm embarrassed to go out anywhere b/c when people look at me, I know they're thinking, " Good Lord, what is up w/ that woman's face! I hope I don't catch it! " Any tips, is greatly appreciated.

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2002 Report Share Posted August 2, 2002 Hi, this might be a horrible idea.. but is it illegal for people to give prescription meds/topicals to others (without being paid for it) ? it seems like people on this board have a zillion meds, half of which we dont use anymore/never used..and some people might really want to try meds but not have the means to pay for them. i mean, if we were to choose to " give " our unusables to someone else is that illegal ? i mean,couldnt someone's aunt give them a halfused tube of metrogel? then again i suppose that's different because this is a public forum. i dont know,it was just an idea,but im 99% sure this is unlawful behavior. =) > I was diagnosed for rosacea last year.

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2002 Report Share Posted August 2, 2002 Are you using generic monodox? And, have you compared prices amongst pharmacies (it can be quite variable)? Here's a link to monodox at drugstore.com, w/ generic prices to compare: http://www.drugstore.com/pharmacy/prices/drugprice.asp?ndc=55515025904 Hope that helps a bit! - in Michigan Hi - new to the group and need help! > I was diagnosed for rosacea last year.
