Hi Cheyenne - Welcome to CWE
I presume the cost has increased as the coverage has decreased.
Seems that the medical field would have the insurance game figured out, and you wouldn't have any trouble with medication.
Perhaps people would abuse it more if they didn't have to pay out of pocket for some of the costs.

Welcome Cheyenne,
:cheers:
It will be cool to have an experienced EEG tech in our group. I understand the financial drain of E. Not just the meds, but doctor bills, ER visits, etc...
Please make yourself at home here and join in on conversations. There are a few threads out their decribeing how you can get assistance from some of the pharmacy companies.
:cheers:

Mr B, our host, has built us an AWESOME home here. Feel free to kick up your feet and stay awhile. Buckeye and Eric both make some GREAT coffee (far better than mine!)
Take care!

The costs of a brand name have skyrocketed, and the coverage % has decreased. I have talked & written many people within the institution I work for, as well as writing President Obama, the drug company directly, etc. No reply from the Pres yet, but it burns me that big business can dictate your independence. By that I mean, I already know what my body can handle, being forced into taking a med because I cannot afford their price! Unbelievable!!
Everyone is cutting costs, even we patients. I understand the economy has bombed, but still I am nervous, angry, even scared about changing meds because of this. I have a good job, good home life, I right now can still drive. What I really believe needs to happen is that epilepsy needs to be better understood by the general public. That is a whole other soapbox!
Anyway, enough ranting. But thank you for this forum. It is great to have something like this.
