When I was on my wifes insurance my BP meds losartan and amlodipine and my cholestorol lipitor was 140ish when i wasnt on her insurance id use goodrx and the price was about 35 at publix :P

When I was in the Mediare donut hole, I used GoodRx for my meds. I would not have been able to afford them going through my insurance.

The person at the pdocs office says they sent in my two new prescriptions.
The pharmacy says they don't have them.


I had to keep telling people that these are entirely new meds for me -- no prescription number.


Eventually I got a real person on the phone at the pharmacy and she
said she would call the pdoc.

Glad to hear Mari.

Still nothing from the pharmacy.
 

I do not see myself taking Pristiq.
It's name brand and likely expensive.
I am so angry about the process.
And one of the side effects is dreams.

The precursor, Effexor, also causes weird dreams.
That's a nevermind re the dreams.

I had vivid dreams from depakote besides more sh@t. I hope you find something!

Thanks, Bobby.



I'm guessing that I'm not getting the med because my
insurance will not pay for it.


If it is close to Effexor, the pdoc should give me effexor but I already
have the weird dream thing. I don't see myself taking either med.

You have 2 very good reasons for not taking it Mari. With your history of dream-related problems (dreamlets, etc?) and side effects from medications, I agree that alone would be a big risk :hug:

Will you wait until you see your pdoc again to ask for a script for a different medication, or call her?

I am sorry mari.
Perhaps you could send her a message via the portal.
And she would not have you come back in. You could explain that fyou were sleep deprived and was not thinking clearly. which is true.

Bobby,

Did the dreams cause you to stop the med?


I can understand if that was the case.
