Title: Prescription Help
Post by LindsayLoo on Jun 5^th, 2007, 8:38pm

I tried doing a search but can't seem to find anything. If this a repeat, sorry!

I was prescribed Relpax (I know it won't work but what the heck I'll try anyway) and it is almost $150 for 6 pills, a 3 day supply) I cannot afford this and insurance doesn't cover, although the CVS is trying to get my PCP to get prior auth from my ins to cover it but could take awhile. I have seen on shows like Montel that the pharmecutical (sp?) company's have things like Prescription assistance. Do any of you know the naems of the programs?? It would help alot. Thank you!

Lindsay
