 |
|
I know I can order them online from Canadian pharmacies, but this way is expensive. Also, if doing it this way, would I need to have them mailed to the US and then to Korea? Would the pills even go through customs there?
So worried, as I need these meds, but do not have a lot of money. They are often a leash, making me feel as if I cannot travel. Hopefully, they are available readily there, as I hope to go teach in the next month.
I realize where I am will make a difference (i.e. the city will be easier).
Thanks in advance.
Does anyone relate? |

Repeat please:
I am not depressed. I am quitting smoking.
One more time:
I am not depressed. I am quitting smoking.
Wellbutrin is prescribed in the US for smoking cessation. Clinical applications for Buspar are a little odd, but you could easily just say you're quitting smoking, and this is what's successful for you.
I know they're available because my doc tries to shove them in my craw whenever I darken his doorstep. |

Thanks!!
Any ideas of price?
Also, this seems a bit sketch...for example, what if the doc thinks something better will work? And how can I get the exact dosage I...er, have been using here to quit smoking...?

Price is less than a mannon for 30 days for most of the really expensive stuff. And you need a doc that treats westerners so he's not afraid to prescribe the required dosages. |

Immediately after you get your ARC. If you're E-2, you get insurance. You pay a portion, work pays a portion. |

They're just trying to make a buck. I got my job blind and I love it. |

Shrug. I don't know about demands, head over to the job boards and pull 5 PS contracts and 5 hakwon contracts and 5 uni contracts you're qualified for. Get a white board and list what's important to you, like hours, base salary, vacation, perks, apartment, location, etc. Grab some pros and cons, like a big pro would be THIS JOB IS NOT IN SEOUL and a big con would be THIS JOB IS IN SEOUL, and just go from there. I recommend using colors. |
