@freemo £9.65 I think current prescription charge in the UK, and that would cover as many boxes of the stuff as the doctor thought you needed. I can't speak to how long it'd take though, I don't know if the dispensaries will keep that stuff in stock.
I'm only using the UK as an example again because it's the one I know. If the Israeli(?) system has issues I'm not sure they are necessarily generalised issues with socialised healthcare? UK system has plenty of its own problems, but I don't know how generalised they are either.
@VoxDei The issue with melatonin is one you will only see in Israel with that drug.. You have similar issues with other drugs in other socialized systems, but not really with melatonin.
In the UK for example I wouldnt be able to get the drugs I need for sleep but in the case of hte UK it would be the Zelepalon not the melatonin (I take both)
