Without leaving the house. I have social anxiety and agoraphobia so find leaving the house extremely difficult. Is there anywhere where I can get them posted to me (I pay delivery) but the actual pills are free.

Have you got a prescription from your GP?

You can if you pay OP, via an online pharmacy (superdrug online doctor for example). You have to have an online consultation with one of their doctors - medical information. Personal details, GP details, health history etc and they require you to provide a recent blood pressure reading. You could do that at a gp surgery without speaking to anyone if you were able to get there as they are self service machines in the entrance, or the same at a pharmacy. Or I suppose you could have a blood pressure monitor delivered of you are housebound. Please be honest when giving your details though as the pill is not safe for everyone and not suitable for everyone. Certainly it is known to increase anxiety for example.

Do you receive treatment or assistance from the NHS for your illnesses? I ask because I am quite sure it would be possible to call/email your GP surgery and speak to somebody over the phone with regards to a prescription, given the issues, or a visit to your home if you are housebound. Agoraphobia and anxiety are very legitimate illnesses, if you appraise your GP surgery I am sure you could collaborate to find a workaround.

I order my prescriptions online from my GP and request them online, they come by post and this is free ( anyone is eligible) BUT will only stand for repeat medications. I am not certain the pill goes on a repeat prescription anymore due to the fact blood pressure needs to be checked regularly when on it and so on.
