Default Some good news came my way today

I contacted Lyrica a few weeks ago asking if the $25.00 co-pay card would be valid if I did not have health insurance. They said nope, it is only valid with
prescription coverage. I explained that I lose my health insurance next month and to fill my lyrica would be $800.00 cash price per month.

Well like most of us that is impossible for us to pay. So after speaking with the lady she told me to go to their website and I could apply to different presctiption assistance programs.

I thought we might meet all the requirements from Lyrica so I filled out the application, brought in to my pain Dr. and he filled out his portion, mailed everything into lyrica. I did not think I would hear back for at least another week or two, and a package arrived today from Lyrica, I met their particular requirements, and they have agreed to provide me with the medication at no charge.

I can not believe how wonderful they( Lyrica ) are being, this has lifted a huge weight off of my back.

Good news after many weeks of bad news is just wicked good.

Default bravo!!

You just made my day. I do not want to sound negative but it would be a good idea to slowly develope a one week stash in case your delivery runs late. I have had conflict with my part d paying for it twice and went through a nasty withdrawal both times. Best wishes.
