I was able to get my BP meds from a pharmacy in Canada. Apparently the generic is not available here in the states yet due to some patent red tape...but it should be available next year I'm being told.

I can get a 90 day supply of the generic for what I would pay for a 30 day supply of the brand. So....I pay $90 every three months instead of every month which is great. I just have to order through the online pharmacy.

Everything else I take can be gotten in generic form so it's only $4 a month.

I'm going to call my Neuro's office and explain to them that I have no insurance and see if they can reduce the office visit cost. I would assume that since I am on SSDI I have to keep my appointments with the Neuro......which is why I cannot understand the nearly 2 year wait for Medicare. What on earth do they think people do in the meantime?
