Where can I go to get my Propecia refills?
I have been on this medication for over a year-and-a-half, with good results. The consultation doctor at Bosley was the one who initially prescribed it for me for one year.
When my pills ran out, I went back to Bosley for a follow-up consultation. The doctor reluctantly gave me a prescription for another 9 months--not even the full year. He was apparently annoyed that I had not yet made up my mind to get a transplant with Bosley, so he tried to use my need for Propecia against me, figuring that I would have to return to them, and get the transplant if I wanted additional prescriptions.
I recently decided that I want to postpone getting a transplant for a while. But now that leaves me with the problem of where to get my supply of Propecia?
I have been to a couple of doctors to ask to get a refill. One of them was a prostate specialist, who told me that I have to go to a cosmetic surgeon to get this prescribed.
Another doctor was a general practicioner, who also refused to write me a refill, telling me that I have to go to the doctor that originally prescribed Propecia for me.
What am I supposed to do at this point?
This is a subject that I rarely hear discussed on this forum, or anywhere else. Everyone assumes that you can just get Propecia for the asking, like going into a store and buying a bottle of Tylenol. No one has addressed the frustrating problem that doctors act as gatekeepers to your medication. This is really messed-up.
