Many purrs and purrayers for you, Liz - Any chance the doctor(s) who
prescribed his meds might have samples they could give you to last you for a
week to buy you a little time? I just googled these links which might be of
help...

I've been madly trying to find a place my bro could move to after Mother's
death as we can't keep her home (finally found a small house that will
suit him)...the taxes and utilities on Mother's house are killing me! and
what with me having to quit my job and come handle the estate and my
bro....I'm about done in financially and mentally as well as
physically...He just ran out of all his prescription meds ( a week early,
as per usual) for depression, ADD and other ailments... and is NO HELP
...All I do from daybreak till I collapse at night is... sort, pack and
tote to another room all his crud... He has to be moved out by the end of
the mth...

I miss being with my kitties, they miss me too. When I collapse at night
they all cling to me...

Please put me in your thoughts, and prayers... :-( Liz

We've tried about every place we can think of to get just a week's worth
more monthly(as his doc cut his dosage down by that many mil) Sadly as
Adderal is a Class D(?) drug...it's a no go..We've exhausted all the Social
Security/Disability avenues and the available doctors within his
network...Rather maddening...especially as when he's on his meds, he
functions great. :-( Liz Who now is going to go hug on her kitties...

I tried some of those links (years ago) and was told I couldn't get (or was
it "qualify"?) for prescription help. However, my doctor back in TN knew I
had lost my job and didn't have insurance. He gave me samples of the
anti-depressant I was on whenever he had them. The pharmaceutical reps seem
to drop off samples all the time. I didn't need anything near what Liz
indicates her brother needs, though. I'd certainly ask his regular doctor
if there are samples.

Take this or leave it, your choice: If I were you, I'd try again with
the drug mfg'rs
for those "discount cards" - more than one maker. You may or may not
have
been working when you applied before....guess what? I applied and
received two
mfgr's cards for drug discounts *when I was still working*, and they
required
NO verification, only your word online, no RL paperwork required. This
was late
90's. The requirements for these cards are much more liberal *now*.
All you
have to do is go to each mfgr's website and there will be some link
for applying.



The anti-depressant I was prescribed wasn't on the "approved" list of
discounted drugs available from the manufacturer. This was in 2005; I don't
know about now. These programs definitely help people who need medication
for what they consider *health* issues: diabetes, heart conditions, high
blood pressure, etc. What they consider *mental* health issues (even though
clinical depression is medical, not mental), some medications were approved.
Mine wasn't on their list.

However, Liz indicates her brother has ADD along with his other conditions
so his medications may well be on the approved list. If I were her I'd
certainly give the links a try as well as ask his doctor about
pharmaceutical samples to tide him over. If his doctor cut his doseage
(which I believe she also indicated) to the point where he's not functioning
with the lesser dose, I'd see about changing physicians.

I don't know where Liz lives but I'm pretty sure she's in the U.S. Wal*Mart
has a discount prescription program for the generic version of a lot of
prescriptions. The co-pay is $4 for a 30 day supply. After Wal*Mart
launched this program a lot of other stores followed suit. I know the
pharmacy in my grocery store has a program like this.

On a personal note, I need to find a local physician so I can get my medical
records transferred here and get back on my meds. I'm dealing with a lot of
stuff, and not nearly what Liz is dealing with. I've been taking St. Johns
Wort, which helps a little. So far I've been able to stave off the desire
to crawl under the covers and not come out again for a month (or two). It's
not going to work much longer. I've been running on adrenaline since my
mother died, and I'm afraid I'm running out of it.

I can't imagine that they'd be so relaxed about a violently addictive
drug which is very frequently abused - Adderal is an amphetamine.

I understand. Wouldn't hurt to try again, though, it's cost-free
anyway, and
maybe the drug you mean is now considered in some other category that
the mfgr. will discount.

maladies; a sharp woman may be a whole lot more understanding...
yeah, sexist..so report me to the ASPCA

Hang in there Liz. This too shall pass. Asking the owners for lots of
purrs and am sending serenity thoughts and wishes your way.
