Here are some places that help with the expense of prescriptions: When I type in prescription help in the 'search' at the top of this site- I found the following: www.freemedicinerevolution.com www.myrxadvocate.com www.scbn.org Then, I remembered that people had talked about help in another group I'm in. Here's some information I learned from that group.

BenefitsCheckUpRX - PPA/Partnership for Prescription Assistance - Brings together America’s pharmaceutical companies, doctors, patient advocacy organizations and civic groups to help low-income, uninsured patients get free or nearly free brand-name medicines. Hopefully, this is of help to you. Maybe to some others too that might need assistance. I do have insurance, and although I can't imagine "not" having it. I've still managed to have almost $5,000 of out-of-pocket medical expenses. (I'm scheduled to have an MRI tonight. So, be thinking of me. I told my daughter, there's nothing wrong. It's just another freakin bill. Those things are extremely costly. I've had one once before.) Anyway, good luck. I really, really hope someone on this list can and will help you.
