Sadly, we are being overcharged for these prescriptions in the US. How are Canadian drugs any safer then USA drugs. Wake up people.

Go to www.Lily.com This is the mfg web site for the patient prescription program. They will send you an application which you and your physician fill out and return. They send you a four month supply each shipment. Then you just give a refill paper to your doc to sign and they fax in your refills. A new application is done once a year. I know this because I have been doing this for years.

  Yes well there should be further options as regards insurance. Perhaps she could be eligible for Medicaid. As well in many states if a person is above the limit for Medicaid if they are working they could be eligible for the Medicaid Buy in for Working People with Disabilities (working is defined as any work that is at least an hour a month). As well some pharmaceutical companies have the Patient Assistance Program where if its documented that a person falls between the gaps of various kinds of insurance coverage they could receive a free supply monthly with a prescription from their psychiatrist who has to complete a form as well. I know that's how I was eligible for at least one medication in the past. There are other insurance options as well. The person could also find out more at their local independent living center. There is one in every county of every state.
