This becomes a real problem as I am also a snow bird and when out of state they still want me to go to the office and pick up the written prescription. I have an autoimmune illness for which I need a sleeping aid. That is the prescription which the state board of medicine can be called into any pharmacy and there is no law, as the villages clinic tells me all the time, that requires the prescription I must get the prescription in person.

Syber: (1) Why don't you call the pharmacy that you use and get more information on this. (2) Since you're a snowbird, don't you have a primary doctor "up north" who can write the Rx for you when you are there?
