My monthly meds cost $72 a month. Job-challenged, I pay $249 a month for health insurance without prescription coverage. Thus, I cannot afford to pay for my medication. My doctor successfully provided me with free samples for the first three months, just enough to get me addicted. Then the pharmacists caught on and shut him down. The solution? Generic brand, $4 a bottle at Walmart. The catch? Doctor can't write me refills. The problem? My doctor is in Albany and I am in NY. A two way train ticket to get to and from Albany for my monthly appointment and prescript costs (at minimum, with triple A discount) $65. + $4 prescription, and I'm only saving $3 for my generic pills.
And that is why I am in withdrawal. My head is spinning, my eyes are droopy, my stomach's a fickle bitch.
Love,
