Tomorrow I go to my regular doctor for a check up.

I went to get my blood work done today. Even explained
to the girl because its the one that takes Derrick's a lot of
the time.

About my fobia of having blood taken. We had a nice talk.
She even complimented me on how I did.

Anyway tomorrow, I see primary. I am going to try and switch
anxiety meds. I can't afford cymbalta without insurance.

And even though my husband thought we had it again. Its not
gone into effect yet. So there is no way to know until the 15th
if its going to happen.

I also need to call and schedule with the migraine doctor because
I take the generic for imitrex. Can't afford $500.00 for 9 pills either.

Ugh, its time to change a couple of things I guess.

Have to also ask my pharmacist how much topamax is. I had enough
to last a while. I really stretched it somehow. But will be out soon.

So life is going to make it impossible to not buy two new meds again.

My personal life is okay, I'm working a lot. Till the last two weeks,
when I seem to have crashed and just stopped. So I am working
on making sure my families are okay.

And will be ready the first of the year.

Dear Donna,

You do great work with your families.

Topamax is available in generic. Cymbalta is not. Maybe your doctor can find something similar.

M

Yes I take the generic for topamax. I can't ever spell it.


I have been trying to research for a alternative to cymbalta.

I have not found something yet.

Donna

Donna,


I don't think that there is a good match for Cymbalta. Maybe you can talk to your pharmacist. My pharmacist had some good ideas when I needed help like that.

M

Yes Mari,

From what I have been able to determine Cymbalta doesn't have a
good match. Nothing close.

I am not sure what I will do. Thinking it through.

Donna

Okay, I am going on Celexa. I think its spelled. Of course the generic.

I was waiting almost 2 hours for the doctor. He is thorough with all patients,
and hospital times. So it takes a while.

But sure hate the time. So I didn't get to pharmacy too. Will hopefully
tomorrow, but that is according to how Will feels.

I understand all to well the cost of medications. If you contact the manufacturer they do a certain amount of patient assistance programs. Your Dr will complete some information and will send in to the manufacturer. If you qualify the meds are sometimes free!

Hi from Fla. I just wanted you to know I understand about the insurance issue with medication. Without insurance sometimes the drugs we need are out of reach. My doctor wrote a letter to one of the companies that produced a medication I needed. they provided the medication to me at no charge until the time I qualified for SSD. I don't know if it is possible in your case, but you might want to ask your doctor. Also your doctor may be able to provide you with samples to last out the month. In some cases where insurance is a problem they are willing to do this. When you go to your appt. it might be a good thing to ask about. Glad you got through your blood test. I don't like them much eithor. I hope the results turn out OK. I also hope your up coming appointment turns out OK. Have a peaceful holiday. ginnie

My meds should be good. I am now able to get a $10 a month 600mg gabapentin. Wow, its so good, yippee. Its new I think. But it wasn't possible before. Then I get my simvastin, hychlordine, medformine, all
for $ 4 or $10 for 1 or 3 months. So I can afford them all fine. So I
just have to find out how much the topamax generic is going to be, then
the imitrex is $500.00. But I can do without it if I have too.

I didn't use much a month or year.


Drum Roll!!!!! We have insurance again as of the 1st of December it
seems. So I have to get things called in and get my pharmacy
taken care of.

So we will see.
