Prescription prices may vary depending on the actual location of the drug store and the online pharmacies might change the drug prices more frequently than we update, but this should still give you a rough guide of where to look. Remember that you need to add shipping to the price you see at the online pharmacy, which is usually significant. Some drug stores also offer better bulk prices than others.
Buying prescription drugs from Mexico is not a good idea, since there is no good government oversight. The FDA has taken the position that virtually all shipments of prescription drugs imported from a Canadian pharmacy by a US consumer will violate the law. It is possible that their stance will change, but in the meantime, US consumers should avoid buying drugs from Canadian pharmacies.
Paxil (paroxetine) is made by GlaxoSmithKline, Prozac (fluoxetine hydrocholoride) is made by Eli Lilly, Celexa (citalopram) is made by Forest Labs and Zoloft (sertraline HCI) is made by Eli Lilly. Paxil currently has the largest market share of all four antidepressant drugs.
