Where can I get reasonably priced anti-depressants in Kuwait?

9 years ago

Hello Forum,

I need anti-depressants here in Kuwait because my insurance provider in the U.S. will only provide me with one month's supply each month: they're too expensive to ship over here, as the going rate for FedEx is around $100.00 per envelope or packet - and the Kuwaiti mail service is so slow and undependable that if sent by my U.S. pharmacy to me here in Kuwait, they may never arrive at all.

I bought a month's supply at a Kuwaiti Hospital (private) at their pharmacy after getting a prescription from a doctor there first - but the cost of the meds just about broke my bank. Any suggestions for me? Oh . . . and the school I teach for over here offers me health coverage - but no coverage for anti-depressants!

Please: any ideas?
