I've always gotten it black market.
Like everything else to do with medicine in the U.S. the prices are jacked up beyond belief when you get it from a doctor.
I have gotten it from a doctor in the past...and a 10 cc vial was $200 and the doctor had to make me get blood test after blood test (because they are scared of getting sued and the way our medical system is set up is a scam to get you to pay for unnecessary tests, but that's a whole other topic)
Meanwhile I can buy it from other countries (where it's perfectly legal to get over the counter) and get 50 cc's (enough for 50 weeks...a year basically) for $400
Then I just see my doctor to get a full physical (including blood work) once a year.
So far so good.
However...having said that, I was talking about it to my doctor a couple of weeks ago. He knows what I do. And he told me that my insurance would cover it if I want to go "legit". So that's an option open to me now.
