Ways to Get Medicine??

[Guest guest]

I need help if anyone knows. I had to switch over to the state medical program

here in Oregon. They will not pay for 3 of my medicines already and there is

more to come. The two they have taken away that are really needed is Lyrica (

used mainly for pain and sleep but I don't think I have fibro) and a drug called

Xifaxan which keeps my blood amonnia levels down. I need these pretty badly,

especially the latter.

My question is " Does anyone know of groups or organizations or anyone at all

that might be able to help me? "

I would appreciate if you did and could sent it my way. I am getting worse by

the day and am a single mother.

Your doctor should be able to write an appeals letter, stating that you

cannot go without these drugs and that your insurance needs to pay for them.

I really want to thank you all for sending me that information. As far as my

doctor, she has done all she can for me right now. She is a good doctor. I am on

my 3rd appeal coming up. I might qualify for the Lyrica one but unfortunately,

not the other. I will begin to fill out the paperwork tomorrow as it is past

midnight now. I hope I get it! I am very hopeful.

Here is a link that could help you get started. 

http://patientassistprograms.com/   When I had to go on Medicare Part D for my

meds, they would no longer fil my Lyrica even though I met the requirements so I

switched to Neurontin.  It is now generic and you have to take more but at

least you can get it.  I went with the Humana Medicare program and their mail

order pharmacy, Right Source, charges nothing, yes, nada, zip, for generic meds

if I get them 3 mos. at a time.  So I even get my tramadol the generic 50 mg

pills and take 2 of them 4 times a day when my dr. would like me to take the

extended ones that are not generic.  The only non-generic med that i take is my

Cymbalta.  Good luck finding help with the meds you need. I hope the link works

for you.

Hugs, Michele
