1354407	2013-09-26 19:05:00	Is anyone here on melatonin?? I'm on a prescription... It worked for a while. And now it kinda stopped working - which seems to have happened around the time of a refill. So, does anyone here have first hand experience, preferably long term, of melatonin? Specifically, would different brands make a difference? They shouldn't right? PMs welcome if you don't want to share publicly.	Cato (6936)

Before I used to get them in a generic pharmacy bottle with a sticker. Now I got the WorldWide Labs, maybe it psychological but don't seem to work now. Do you guys import or buy from a pharmacy? Looking at WWL's website, like ~7$ for 60. Paying ~36$ here.	Cato (6936)
1354410	2013-09-27 06:28:00	I was led to believe it was prescription only. We pay $5 for 3 months. He takes 2 2mg so he's on 4mg	plod (107)
1354411	2013-09-27 07:04:00	It is prescription only... But it isn't subsidized for those under 55. I can import it from the USA where it's a dietary supplement, for a fraction... All I have to do is present customs with a prescription for a max 12 weeks. I'm paying $36 a month... How comes he pays less and I pay 20 times more?? WTF. I don't understand this...	Cato (6936)
1354412	2013-09-27 07:20:00	This is what happens when you don't know what you are talking about. Just asked the wife, yes you are correct, it is $36 a month. I had it confused with another drug. Even his community services card and high user script card doesn't effect the price go the melatonin.	plod (107)
1354413	2013-09-27 21:08:00	I think I might try importing next month. I'll post about how that turns out.	Cato (6936)

It's either he was given 2 weeks supply + 5 repeats and was charged only $5 (keeping in mind the repeats are not subsidised for Melatonin) or the dispensary is not being run by someone who does not know what s/he is doing. [Edit] Just saw your clarification post. Please ignore.	Renmoo (66)

Unfortunately melatonin is not a listed item on the Pharmac schedule, and therefore it does not attract any subsidy whatsoever - hence the community services card / high user card / pharmaceutical subsidy card does not affect the cost. As it is not subsidised, it pays to ring up a few pharmacies and compare the prices first so that you get the best value/money.	Renmoo (66)
1354416	2013-09-28 01:30:00	We go to the same so it all goes prescription count. Or can that be used across chemists	plod (107)
