Does anyone here have to get the name brand drugs? I have tried the Neurontin generic & could not tell it helped my partial seizures & migraines at all. I have been getting Brand for several years & paying a lot but feel it is worth it.

Now suddenly my insurance will not approve it & I can't afford to pay the total cost. They listen to nothing my doc says. Just wondering if anyone else had this happen to them? Thanks.
 
Hi Emee,

I've had to take a couple brand name meds for them to work like Diamox Seaquels and Tegretol which I no longer take.

I have insurance but my employer wants me to get it by mail but I'm refusing to since the co. they are making me deal with has over $15 Billion in lawsuits on them and over 2000 complaints as of June 2017. I had to have it out with the co. that is messing everything up and I told them I would take legal action. The moment I told them that they changed there tune and let this go back to the way they were for me so I can get my meds at the prices I was in the past. Just tell them you will take legal action or get the Medical Conduct Board after them and take my word they will change their way.
I wish you the best of luck and May God Bless You!

Thanks for reply. I'm glad you resolved your problem.

The mail order pharmacy I use has given me info on how to follow up with my complaint. I feel it would be useless but I may pursue it anyway. I'm dealing with Medicare & my doctor has already spent a lot of time trying to convince them & it didn't change anything.
