Maybe sit with the phone book and call around all the pharmacies in your area. Even if they can get you the 50 one.
As for your benefits. Has it not changed to PIP. I know a few people who are on that and they seem to get a decent allowance which allows them to live quite well. I did read that's it's difficult to get on to but it replaces disability living allowance so might be worth applying for if you can.
You are allowed....I think....to work for a few hours a week without it affecting your benefits. Would that be something you could do. Might be good to get out of the house and do something you might enjoy.
I personally would not order online as you don't really know what you are getting so I would be wary.
You won't see much of a difference if you are without for a week or so which would give you the time to get it from a pharmacy. Just in case you have been sold something that's not quite right.
I don't trust anything that you don't have to provide a prescription for. I even have to have one to buy medication for my dog so heaven only knows what's out there.
Call me cynical, yep without a doubt.

Hi Honeybun
I don't mind if you are being cynical, I don't know if you are, maybe you are just being careful, cautious, etc, that's ok.
I have ordered online before and had no problems, but I do respect that you want to be careful.
I already ordered from euroclinix, - should be alright, someone else (sorry forgot her username) ordered on there with no probs.
It's good to have a stash of hrt patches or pills or gel on hand, even if it has to be obtained privately. My GP only gives me two boxes at a time.
I have had a lot of problems this week which stopped me going to the chemist, (dunno if it's agoraphobia-no diagnosed with that, but panic at the thought of going out sometimes, especially if I have extra stress)
PIP is replacing DLA, which I am on (care component) I found out later, I would have got mobility, but I insisted on filling out the DLA application myself years ago, and I minimalised my problems, because at the time, I had just lost my job, and I was kinda ashamed and prejudiced about being seen as disabled, luckily I am not as ignorant now. It's just that any benefit claimant will tell you that the forms are really embarrassing to fill out, it's hard to put down all your problems.
I am just so grateful for the DLA money I have got, considering loads of people are losing thiers, so I don't want to rock the boat.
I will be re-assessed for PIP in due course. By then, hopefully, i will have my ADHD diagnosis, as I am getting tested for that at the end of this month.
You can be working to claim DLA or it's replacement, PIP, but I never knew that when I was working.
Employment Support Allowance is the benefit I could lose imminently, depending on His Lordship, Druggy Face Osborne's budget announcement, on 8th July, which is especially targeted for me as a benefit claimant, and many others, some of who will made desititute, just like others who have been made destitute by the last cuts.
I was re-assessed for ESA in 2013 in the migration change from Incapacity Benefit, to Employment Support Allowance, and I was placed in the Support Group. I claim contributions based ESA.
As my employer awarded me a small pension, I would not qualify for the means-tested income based ESA so I would get a revised ESA letter showing 0.00ESA
I would love a small job, and have worked in tons of different workplaces, but the same problems keep on popping up, me crying all the time, absorbing the negativity of other colleagues and being picked on, not being able to concentrate well enough to do my job, etc etc.
Even third parties used to come up to me in work and comment on how much I was picked on.
If there was a job I could do where I could work alone, even part time, then that would be great. I have no transport so wages would have to be decent enough to absorb or partly absorb expensive fares.
I am a good singer, I can draw and paint, and I can make things, but I have no ideas, and no business sense, but yeah, I would rather (within my limited capability) be well enough to work rather than relying on handouts from a begrudging anti-human anti-disabled and disadvantaged fascist government.
