The problem I have with financial advice like this is that it’s all focused on the math. Unfortunately the act of getting out of debt has little to do with math and almost everything to do with psychology. How many people who save their payments until the day before interest starts will have a moment of weakness and…

YMMV of course, but I was able to buy three 12 month EA play passes and all three converted to 4 months of ultimate. That allowed me to extend for another year of ultimate for about $90. Not a bad price in my mind.

Microsofts FAQ directly states that once your ultimate subscription ends, you can go back to one of their other memberships. It’s about 2/3 of the way down this page.

The government body (USPSTF for anyone who is interested) that makes recommendations about preventive medications and healthcare services gave PrEP an A recommendation. What this means is that if your health insurance falls under the categories that have to follow all of the provisions of health care reform, your plan…

For women who get diarrhea during their periods, it is often caused by the rise in prostaglandins as well. Taking ibuprofen or naproxen can thus also help decrease or eliminate the diarrhea. As stated in the article these are medications that you need to be careful with if you have other conditions, but for those who…

@sybann Most states recognize the training pharmacists have received (a doctorate degree is the entry level degree these days) and the discretion that education affords the health care professional.

I’ll give you my perspective as a pharmacist which may or may not be what your pharmacist would do. If I get asked to run a schedule 2 with only cash I will be quite a bit more suspicious of you, but if nothing else seems out of place I’ll run it for you. I’m definitely going to check your history in my state’s…

I’m a pharmacist and in my experience Ambien is one of the most abused drugs I dispense. I get asked for early refills on Ambien more than any other drug including opioids, and get every excuse you could think of as to why they ran out early.

As a pharmacist, I wholeheartedly support flushing any drug with abuse potential. Most of those kinds of drugs are the ones that make it through our bodies with little to no change, so they’re making into waste water anyway. We have a problem of people dying because they abuse prescription drugs, so if flushing them…

I’m a pharmacist and work for a pharmacy insurance company. Not every insurance company is created equal, but I would generally say that the second suggestion here is very irresponsible and shows a complete lack of understanding by the author. The company I work for has very sound reasoning for the drugs we cover and…
