We don't have any insurance that helps with prescription coverage. I use generics and it's also cheaper if you don't use new medicines. If you talk to your doctor they can prescribe some meds t hat have been out for awhile and do just as good of a job. Also, Wal-mart has a list of prescriptions that you can get for $4-$10. You might want to check into that. Sometimes if you buy a 3 month supply you'll get a discount taken off. That's a real bummer!! Good luck.

I was on a medicine last year where the manufacturing company allowed me a discount for using it. I saved $50 a month just on this one prescription but when the year was over because I didn't have prescription help on my insurance I had to go back and pay the regular price. I didn't understand the reason for that one.

There's the qlitch. I'm allergic to the other things he's tried me on. This is the only one so far that has worked. And there isn't a generic for this drug. It's to new. So I called today and told them I wasn't taking it anymore. I go back to dr
next week. They will have to give me samples at least thats what the nurse said they could do. Will have to wait and see. Thanks for all your replies ladies.

It is disgraceful that our country's health plans, and lack of them, are in such a state. I do not like socialized anything, but I do think we must go with some kind of socialized medicine here.

People die because they can't afford their meds or to go to a doctor!
