yikes! prescription costs

Hello, Lady Laura, and welcome to the Bipolar Forum,

There is a program online called the "Partnership For Prescription Assistance" among several others. Perhaps that may enable you to get a reduced price on some of the more expensive psychotropic drugs.

Try also talking to your local pharmacist. He may have some excellent ideas to assist you.

I understand that some physicians will give samples to patients who need temporary help in regard to payment for meds.

For complaints, you would need to contact the Federal Trade Commission giving them all the data you have about the drugs you are prescribed and which ones seem unbelievable in price to you.

This just touches the subject; you will find a good bit more online. Try even your social services department in the city in which you live. They may have additional helpful information.

I.G.

Talk to your county health and human services. Almost all have assistance for mental health problems. I am so grateful all of my health care has been covered since I was diagnosed.
