Guest guest Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008  what about a hardship from your doctor to the drug company Medicare Part D -- how is everyone doing? I got a notice from my insurance that I only have about $550 in drug benefits left for this year. That would be used up just with my Neurontin OR Cymbalta. So I am cutting back on my meds. I am determined to get off Klonopin and have cut down from 3 pills a day to 1 already. I have cut my Neurontin from 3200 mg to 1200 mg. Now what to do about Cymbalta? I've tried before to wean off, with no luck. I plan to call my neuro and see if they have samples. If not I'll ask for a change from 60 mgs to 30 mgs, then will try to taper off. What about all of you? Have you already hit the max? How are you handling it? Sharonhttp://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/MSersHEALTH/This email is a natural hand made product.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 The problem I have encountered is that most programs won't help if a person has insurance. But for those without insurance these programs are life savers!Sharonhttp://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/MSersHEALTH/This'>http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/MSersHEALTH/This email is a natural hand made product.
