Not too many people have tried this but it works. My doctor wrote a letter also, and that with my letter, got some of these companies to respond. This country does not bargin with drug companies like Canada does. There is also a consumer advocasy group, that fights these issues. If you feel like joining this group and the fight, there is no charge. Mostly sign petitions to get the pharmacy industry to stop inflation.
The cost of my meds. before I got Medicare/medicaid, broke the bank, and destroyed all my savings. This is cruel to to do folks. good luck, and I hope you write the companies directly for help. ginnie
i used to buy drugs from Canada before they had medicare part d. I also used to get free topamax and risperdal and i forgot what else. it looks like i will have to try to go that route. I am so sad that new york state changed its epic program where my drugs cost 3 dollars each.
