darlene thank you for the reply, but i have been calling pm all week with no results even called ins. for pm"s but everyone they gave me doesn't take the ins. anymore, at my witts end, finally found something that works and cann't find anyone who will presc. it for me. Only if i pay out of pocket which is impossible after being out of work for 5 months. any suggestions?
